Product Description
Despite its importance in the history of philosophy, the work of the Spanish thinker Averroës (1126-1198) has been left largely unexplored in this century. This book is the only general account of Averroës' philosophy in English. Leaman analyzes his thought and influence, particularly his metaphysics and theory of meaning, arguing that while his work belongs within the cultural and political context of medieval Islam, it remains of considerable philosophical and historical significance.
