Ibn Rushd, or Averroes, is one of history’s most fascinating figures-his presence in "The School of Athens" is no coincidence. Raphael placing him alongside figures like Plato and Aristotle hints at his intellectual stature. But the recognition of Ibn Rushd is about more than just philosophy; it's a testament to how interconnected knowledge truly is across cultures. His contributions, especially in rationalism and the defense of philosophy against theological overreach, laid the groundwork for much of Europe's intellectual renaissance. It’s remarkable how his ideas, emerging from Al-Andalus, influenced Western thought so profoundly, yet remain underappreciated in the broader historical narrative.

[@aChristianPhilosophy]

Thomas Aquinas, a doctor of the Catholic church, gives Averroes the title of “the Commentator” for his great contribution in interpreting the works of Aristotle. I agree with Averroes advocating for the authority of experts: An expert is more likely to be correct about their topic of expertise than a non-expert. And better yet, a majority of experts (an expert consensus) is more likely to be correct than an individual expert. This is true not only for the sciences but also for theology. We can read and try to interpret the divine scriptures on our own, but ultimately, we should defer to the interpretation of the theologian consensus because they are the experts on the matter. I almost fully agree with Averroes that God is omniscient because reality conforms to His thoughts or will. This is true for most of reality, however, I believe there is an exception when it comes to human free will: Since we have free will, our behaviour conforms to our will and not God’s will. To preserve God’s omniscience, we would say that God knows our free-willed behaviour by observing it, and He foreknows it because God is not in time.

[@GraceCole-qy6ul]

The first step is to understand that absolute power means you likely cannot fathom God’s true nature. When god “is,” that is a statement with a lot to unpack (lol puns 🤌🏻).

[@aChristianPhilosophy]

@@GraceCole-qy6ul I agree that it is hard to imagine the full content of a being with absolute power. But we can understand the general idea: Omnipotence means the ability to do anything that is logically and causally possible. Thus, as long as an act does not violate the laws of logic or causality, then it can be done by the omnipotent being.

[@AbdullahSama]

The video is visually stunning but does not provide any additional information that hasn't already been presented by other content creators before. Some things you could've added to improve the video: • There are many things that can be discussed like how Ibn Rushd thought that the masses should not think of God corporeally or incorporeally, but rather as light since that's the metaphor the Qur'an describes Him with. • You could've spoken about his reconciliation between Qadar and Jabr despite the conflicting verses in the Qur'an that appear to support both. • You could've spoken about the position he took regarding the relationship between the material intellect and the agent intellect in his long commentary on the De Anima since that's fundamental to his philosophical worldview. • You could've spoken about his affirmation of direction in the right of God. • You could've provided his design arguments. • You could've spoken about his feud with al-Juwayni, not just al-Ghazali since the latter is already known. • You could've spoken about his achievements in medicine more since that's an aspect which is mostly ignored. Some things you could've avoided to improve the video: • Shouldn't give the impression that you are measuring the success of a Muslim philosopher by looking at how he was received in the West and how much influence he excreted on pagans as if the worth of our heritage is dependent on what they make of it. This is how you started off the video. • Shouldn't give the impression that Ibn Rushd just thought of the Qur'an as symbols and metaphors that are strictly there to appease the masses. in his Fasl al-Maqal, he argues that even though there are verses in the Qur'an you can reinterpret in order to conform to philosophy, usually when you do a comprehensive reading of the Qur'an, you'll understand that the apparent meaning of the verses and the philosophical position are in agreement.

[@OasesOfWisdom]

Hey, thanks for the detailed feedback. With an average 10 minute run time of our videos it’s incredibly difficult to touch on everything in a single video, especially when trying to make it appealing to people who arent already familiar with the philosophical background. Among the topics we considered covering for our videos included Ibn Rushd’s commentaries of Aristotle (short, medium and long) , a more detailed version of the design argument and the conflict between qadr and jabr. Regarding Aristotle, pretty much every philosopher we have covered has had something to stay about Aristotle and it would become overly complex to provide a commentary on Aristotle himself as well as the more Islamic focussed philosophy that we are covering. For the design argument, you may have seen that we briefly touched on it, but we definitely could have spent more time explaining it. This is the same with Ibn Rushd’s hermeneutics on scripture. We did specify in the video that it was upon the ‘ambiguous’ verses that Ibn Rushd believed that philosophers could do work on ‘uncovering’ the meaning of - while the rest of the people were stuck with the symbolic meaning. So I believe we did mention your point about the distinction between interpreting certain deep and not-so-deep verses but of course, more detail can always be outlined. Finally, concerning pre-destination and free will, this is another topic that many of the thinkers in our series have written upon. Rest assured that we will cover this topic eventually, however, in the context of a theology series. For example, we didn’t cover Al-Ghazali’s atomism on our video for him, even though it’s fundamental to his metaphysics, because we wanted to discuss that on a seperate video on Ashari metaphysics. As a more general point, I can appreciate that not every viewer is going to resonate with the framing of our videos. We have designed our philosophy series so that there is some interplay between each successive video. That is why there was such a large emphasis on Al-Ghazali as he was the figure we covered last. In trying to tell the history of philosophy and keep it entertaining you need to leverage thematic and narrative story telling techniques that not everyone will find compelling. We generally try to find interesting facts and anecdotes about each of our personalities so that there’s a hook for as broad of an audience as possible. I apologise if you got the impression that we were basing Ibn Rushd’s legacy on the metric of Western reception but to us we just found his inclusion in the School of Athens painting fascinating. Part of the reason we try to downplay Aristotle is that we do believe that these thinkers are independent from the Western canon in many ways - and our intention is to draw attention to this. We are in no way trying to assert some sort of Western supremacy. Anyways, I appreciate the feedback. It’s quite rare to get detailed feedback like this. We will definitely keep it in mind going forward, but it’s also really difficult deciding which content to keep and which to leave from our research documents which can be up to 50 pages long 😅.
