Born in 1126AD in Cordoba, Andalusia, Averroes' education comprised a grounding in the Maliki approach to jurisprudence and an Ash`arite approach to theology. The Ash`arites put forward an interpretation of shari`a and Islam which emphasises the power and influence of God over all things. Averroes spent most of his life arguing against the Ash`arite approach and this discussion of his metaphysics emphasizes the issues that were controversial in his time, such as the apparent denial of the immortality of the individual soul, the necessity of causality and the distinction between essence and existence. The unity of his thought is stressed and its source is discovered not in his religious views but in his theory of meaning. The development of the Averroist movement is interpreted as an extension of his ideas; the emphasis lies mainly on Averroes and his philosophical thought with some attention to his influence on other thinkers and the context within which his work attracted so much attention and controversy.
