Ibn Rushd's intellectual legacy can be classified into four categories: theology and philosophy, fiqh and usul, language and literature, and medicine.
These books include summaries, commentaries or discussions of some of the works of Plato, Aristotle, Eucledes, Nicolus, Forferius, Ibn Sina, Al-Ghazali, AIFarabi, in addition to other important initiatives.
Repeated misrepresentation of Ibn Rushd's ideas is an important reason why he has not received his deserved place in Islamic intellectual history.
