Averroes (Ibn Rushd, 1126–1198) was a preeminent Andalusian philosopher, jurist, and physician who served as a judge and court physician in Marrakesh. He is best known for his comprehensive commentaries on Aristotle, which earned him the title 'The Commentator' in Latin scholasticism, and for his defense of rational philosophy against theological critiques.
