What these subjects mean

religion Faith as a thing a society runs on, and what has been tried in its place.

innovation Where new things come from and how they spread: invention against diffusion, and being near the factory floor.

What Ibn Rushd (Averroes) actually said

  1. Ibn Rushd (Averroes) Andalusian philosopher, judge and physician (1126 to 1198)
    One cannot maintain that this kind of reasoning is an innovation in religion because it did not exist in the early days of Islam. For legal reasoning and its kinds are things which were invented also in later ages, and no one thinks they are innovations.
