What it is about
The Philosophy and Theology of Averroes.
Context and history
Ibn Rushd (1126–1198), of Córdoba, argues that philosophy and revelation cannot contradict each other because truth is one: when they clash, the sacred text must be interpreted. His commentaries on Aristotle reached Paris and were so influential that he was called simply 'the Commentator' — and they shook Christian theology.
Editorial context, not a citable source: unlike the passages of the work itself, these statements cannot be checked against the corpus.

The subject was taken up in the first place as a parallel study to that contained in a paper in the Indian Philosophical Review, Volume II, July 1918, pp. 24-32 entitled " Maimonides and the Attainment of Relioious Truth." But as I proceeded with my investigation I thought it might be b&st to let Averroes speak for himself. For this reason I have here translated certain treatises of Averroes, as edited in the Arabic text by D. H. Muller in " Philosophic und Theologie von Averrpes." Munich 1859. I am confident that the book will prove an interesting one and will explain itself to the reader without any introduction on my part.
