His ideas have been followed, fought and discussed in Europe for centuries, deeply influencing generations of thinkers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhy has Averroes' role been forgotten? By focusing on histories of philosophy written from the 17th to the 21st century, Debeuf provides a chronological overview that shows that Arabic philosophy was not just forgotten, but purposefully written out of the history of philosophy. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eUntil the early Enlightenment most European thinkers were convinced that the history of philosophy was universalistic. That changed in the 18th century with the rise and dominance of Christian and European idea. Although the battle against Arabic philosophy started more than 700 years ago we see how it is still alive today. This much-needed study encourages us to challenge and reassess our existing ideas about the history of philosophy and Eurocentric interpretations of one of philosophy's major figures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Koert Debeuf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350460621\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350460621\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Koert Debeuf","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48588336431359,"sku":"9781350460621","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-influence-of-averroes-on-koert-debeuf-9781350460621","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
