  • Summary

    A study of Averroes' commentaries on Aristotle's De Anima, which explores the mechanism by which the human mind grasps the essences of things. It is shown that, in response to his fellow Andalusian philosopher Ibn Bajja, Averroes understands intellection to involve a reflexive activity whereby the mind grasps itself as a possessor of concepts. This allows him to avoid reifying intelligibles as mind-independent objects of thought.

  • Summary

    Averroes was a foundationalist who thought that knowledge in the strict sense must be grounded in certain first principles which are in turn derived (only) from sense-experience. We can have certainty about contingent truths and on the basis of individual encounters rather than only through induction from many experiences. The chapter also discusses the low assessment of evidence given by beliefs acquired through testimony.
