Averroes’ CONTROVERSIAL Theology: Merging Faith and Reason

In this 'spoiler free' #bookreview / #bookrecommendation, I go over primary aspects of Ibn Rushd's (Averroes) famous work 'The Harmony of Religions and Philosophy'. I discuss Averroes' transcendental argument that all reasoning assumes objective truth and universality. The issue of whether the universe is eternal or had a beginning is explored, engaging with Greek philosophers like Aristotle. Averroes argues against an eternal universe with an infinite series of movers, favoring the Abrahamic view of a prime mover/first cause. He also grapples with the problem of duality vs. unity in conceptualizing God, arguing God must be a singular being without attributes or plurality.
