The Andalusian Muslim philosopher Averroes (1126-1198) is known for his authoritative commentaries on Aristotle and for his challenging ideas about the relationship between philosophy and religion, and the place of religion in society. Among Jewish authors, he found many admirers and just as many harsh critics. This volume brings together, for the first time, essays investigating Averroes's complex reception, in different philosophical topics and among several Jewish authors, with special attention to its relation to the reception of Maimonides.

Pablo Dreizik, Professor of Philosophy at the University in Buenos Aires, has featured this volume in a radio presentation on Radio Sefarad, which represents the voice of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Spain. The presentation is available here for all interested: Radio Sefarad
