Averroes’ Tahafut Al Tahafut by ibn Rushd
A rigorous defense of Aristotelian philosophy against claims that philosophical inquiry undermines Islamic doctrine, arguing that many objections rest on misunderstandings and flawed logic. It systematically refutes specific theses about metaphysics, causality, and divine attributes, insisting that demonstration and reason complement revelation and proposing allegorical readings of scripture for philosophers while preserving literal teachings for the broader community. The work champions rational inquiry as essential to theological truth and seeks to reconcile faith and philosophy through methodical argumentation.
