Averroism
Definition
A standardized philosophical and graphic variant for 'averoism', denoting the radical medieval philosophical movement based on the interpretations of Averroes; it promotes the idea of the eternity of the world, the independence of rational investigation, and the unicity of the human intellect. This movement dominated the faculties of arts in Paris and Padua, generating vast theological and structural debates that foreshadowed the secularization of European thought.
