Ibn Rushd, often Latinized as Averroes, was a Al-Andalus Andalusian polymath. Being described as "founding father of secular thought in Western Europe", he was known by the nickname "the Commentator" for his precious commentaries on Aristotle's works. His main work was "The Incoherence of the Incoherence" in which he defended philosophy against al-Ghazali's claims in "The Incoherence of the Philosophers". His other works were the "Fasl al-Maqal" and the "Kitab al-Kashf". Ibn Rushd presented an argument in "Fasl al-Maqal" ("Decisive Treatise") providing a justification for the emancipation of science and philosophy from official Ash'ari theology and that there is no inherent contradiction between philosophy and religion; thus Averroism has been considered a precursor to modern secularism. Ibn Rushd accepts the principle of women's equality. According to him they should be educated and allowed to serve in the military; the best among them might be tomorrow's philosophers or rulers. The 13th-century philosophical movement in Latin Christian and Jewish tradition based on Ibn Rushd's work is called Averroism. Ibn Rushd became something of a symbolic figure in the debate over the decline and proposed revitalization of Islamic thought and Islamic society in the later 20th century. A notable proponent of such a revival of Averroist thought in Islamic society was Mohammed Abed al-Jabri with his "Critique de la Raison Arabe" (1982).
