Abstract
Muhammad Ammara highlights the intellectual position of Ibn Rushd (the grandson) by studying some of the paradoxical issues in his intellectual legacy, such as the relationship between wisdom and Shariʿah, the concept of ta’wīl (hermeneutical interpretation), and the concept of truth. The study introduces Ibn Rushd, his history, writings, and philosophy on Divine knowledge of particulars, the relationship of Divine care in human actions, the relationship of Islamic philosophy with Shariʿah, his position towards miracles and wonders, and a comparison of the concept of taʿwil between Arab and Western thought. It also discusses Ibn Rushd’s book Faṣl al-Maqāl and critiques Farah Anton’s analysis of Ibn Rushd’s philosophy (Anton’s analysis being from a secular model rather than an Islamic model from which Ibn Rushd advanced).
