Definitions:

(1) (Averroes)
medieval Islamic philosopher and scholar from Spain whose detailed commentaries on Aristotle strongly influenced both Islamic and European thought (1126-1198)

Averroes, also known as Ibn Rushd, argued that religious faith and philosophical reason ultimately point toward the same truth, even if they use different paths. His ideas about the relationship between philosophy and religion were admired by some and attacked by others, but they helped shape later discussions about how faith and reason fit together.
