@boukephala: Ibn Rushd (Latinised: Averroes) was an Andalucian Muslim Philospher, from Cordoba, who lived in the 12th century. He was a strong proponent of Aristotelianism and attempted to restore the original teachings of Aristotle in opposition to the Neoplatonist approach of earlier Muslim thinkers. His views were received with backlash by conservatives in Cordoba and he was eventually banished, but he became one of the most famous philiosophers in all of history. And he was a major figure of the Islamic Golden Age. This is one of his most famous quotes. #history #islam #cordoba #spain #alandalus #andalucia #ibnrushdaverroes #ibnrushd #averroes #muslim #philosophy #aristotle #muslimphilosophy
