Published Works; Index Codicum Manu Scriptorum; Index Nominum Summary Ibn Rushd (1126-1198), or Averroes, is widely known as the unrivalled commentator on virtually all works by Aristotle. His commentaries and treatises were used as manuals for understanding Aristotelian philosophy until the Age of the Enlightenment. Both Averroes and the movement commonly known as 'Latin Averroism' have attracted considerable attention from historians of philosophy and science. Whereas most studies focus on Averroes' psychology, particularly on his doctrine of the 'unity of the intellect', Averroes' natural philosophy as a whole and its influence still remain largely unexplored. This volume aims to fill the gap by studying various aspects of Averroes' natural philosophical thought, in order to evaluate its impact on the history of philosophy and science between the late Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period Notes International conference proceedings 5 English, 2 French contributions Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and indexes Notes In English, with two French contributions Print version record Subject Averroës, 1126-1198 -- Congresses Averroës, 1126-1198 -- Appreciation -- Congresses SUBJECT Averroës, 1126-1198 fast Subject Philosophy of nature -- History -- Congresses Islamic philosophy -- Congresses Philosophy, Medieval -- Congresses PHILOSOPHY -- History & Surveys -- Medieval.
