Summary/Abstract: Ibn Rushd, who became one of the most distinguished scholars of the Andalus traditions among the Islamic faith, had considerable fame in the West rather than the East and his influence notably continued for centuries. The emergence period and the spread of Ibn Rushed’s philosophy, known as ‘Averroes’ and “the Great Interpreter” of Aristotles in the European intellectual traditions had a great initiative impact on the Renaissance movement. The influence of ‘Latin Averroism’ emerging after a short time following his death spanned through the modernist period, therefore it became possible to observe his impact on the successive philosophers and thinkers of this time. In this study, the emergence of Latin Averroism and the recognition of Ibn Rushd and his philosophy in the Latin intellectual traditions, which is the standpoint in the Western world, will be examined.
