Here we will travel back to the year 1150 of the common era in order that we may illuminate one who is perhaps the most influential figure of Islamic philosophy. He was known to his people as Abu al-Walid Muhammad ibn Rushd and to the western philosophic tradition as simply Averroes.

Sources: To the generous men and women who published these resources, especially Stanford’s article concerning Averroes, I cannot say thank you enough. Without such articles this video would not be possible without the purchase of countless books.
