Synopsis

Philosopher Averroes laid out principles that influenced the Age of Enlightenment in the Western world as well as human thought as a whole up to today. The Caliph had his works destroyed. But Averroes’s readers made secret copies to be disseminated, thus allowing for knowledge to overcome the pressure from fundamentalists.
