Overview
Averroes ibn Rushd. The Decisive Treatise can be viewed as a plea before a tribunal in which the divinely revealed Law of Islam is the sole acknowledged authority. Averroes argues that the Law not only permits but mandates the study of philosophy and syllogistic or logical reasoning. In the course of his argument, he acquits certain earlier Muslim philosophers, particularly Avicenna (Ibn Sina) and al-Farabi of the charge of unbelief.
