Apparent conflicts  between the teachings of Scripture and philosophy can be  reconciled by allegorical interpretations of Scripture, though  such interpretations should not be taught to the common people.  Ibn Rushd's contribution to what was clearly a lively debate in  Almovarid Andalusia is here accompanied by extracts from two  other relevant works, his Damima and Kitab al-Kashf 'an Manahij  al-Adilla, and all are covered  by a full intorduction and notes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56449715339638,"sku":"9780718902223","price":17.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_39361343_b4bf6eba-5f5f-448a-a517-971c7c90fe87.jpg?v=1767839789","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780718902223-averroes","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
