  1. Dialecticians and dialectics in averroes’ long commentary on gamma 2 of Aristotle's metaphysics.Yehuda Halper - 2016 - Arabic Sciences and Philosophy 26 (1):161-184.
    RésuméSi l’œuvre d'Averroès est souvent considérée comme étant le sommet de la méthode démonstrative aristotélicienne dans la philosophie arabe, un bref passage de sonGrand commentaireàMétaphysiqueΓ.2 d'Aristote souligne l'importance primordiale de la dialectique et suggère d'examiner à nouveaux frais le statut de la dialectique et de la démonstration dans l’œuvre philosophique d'Averroès. Dans ce passage, Averroès décrit la dialectique comme une forme acceptable de philosophie et le dialecticien comme un certain type de scientifique. En mettant la dialectique et la démonstration à (...)

  • The Paradoxical Transmission of Tradition and Agamben's Potential Reading of the Rishonim.Jeffrey Bernstein - 2011 - Comparative and Continental Philosophy 3 (2):225-242.
    This essay explores the significance of Agamben’s sparse references to medieval Jewish thinkers (that is, the Rishonim) and raises the question as to whether the modern interpretive horizon of “history” is adequate for providing an understanding of these thinkers.

  • The Genesis of Secular Politics in Medieval Philosophy: The King of Averroes and the Emperor of Dante.Sabeen Ahmed - 2016 - Labyrinth: An International Journal for Philosophy, Value Theory and Sociocultural Hermeneutics 18 (2):209-231.
    In contemporary political discourse, the "clash of civilizations" rhetoric often undergirds philosophical analyses of "democracy" both at home and abroad.

  • Averroës’ Takfīr of al-Ghazālı̄: Ta’wīl and Causal Kufr.Saja Parvizian - 2021 - American Journal of Islam and Society 38 (1-2):65-100.
    Al-Ghazālı̄ famously claims in the Incoherence of the Philosophers that al-Fārābī and Avicenna are unbelievers because they hold philosophical positions that conflict with Islam. What is less well-known, however, is that Averroës claims in the Decisive Treatise that al-Fārābī and Avicenna are not unbelievers; rather, al-Ghazālı̄ is the true unbeliever for writing the Incoherence of the Philosophers. In this paper, my aim is to present a sustained reconstruction of Averroës’ legal and philosophical argument for why al-Ghazālı̄ is an unbeliever. The (...)
