| With particular reference to Averroes' "Commentary on Aristotle's Poetics," it is argued that Averroes could not possibly have understood Aristotle's "Poetics" as it is understood in the modern world. Averroes' "Middle Commentary on Aristotle's Poetics" is also critiqued. |

| Though much has been written of late about Averroes and his philosophy, little attention has been paid to his political teaching. Generally speaking, his works can be divided into two categories: (a) commentaries on Aristotle and other important thinkers and (b) occasional treatises written to resolve particular questions. The subject of this essay, his political teaching, is stated most directly in the first classification of writings - especially in his commentaries on Aristotle's Rhetoric and Plato's Republic. Even though the second kind of writings helps to nuance some of his broader themes - especially the two treatises having to do with the relationship between philosophy anddivine law, namely, the Decisive Treatise and its sequel Kašf ʿan manāhiǧ al-adilla - considerations of space preclude an analysis of them here. Our examination of the first two writings will focus primarily on what Averroes has to say about the different kinds of political regimes and, above all, the best regime, for his discussion of it leads him to reflect more generally on other major political questions. |

Generally speaking, his works can be divided into two categories: (a) commentaries on Aristotle and other important thinkers and (b) occasional treatises written to resolve particular questions. The subject of this essay, his political teaching, is stated most directly in the first classification of writings - especially in his commentaries on Aristotle's Rhetoric and Plato's Republic. Even though the second kind of writings helps to nuance some of his broader themes - especially the two treatises having to do with the relationship between philosophy anddivine law, namely, the Decisive Treatise and its sequel Ka\u0161f \u02bfan man\u0101hi\u01e7 al-adilla - considerations of space preclude an analysis of them here. Our examination of the first two writings will focus primarily on what Averroes has to say about the different kinds of political regimes and, above all, the best regime, for his discussion of it leads him to reflect more generally on other major political questions.","btype":3,"date":"1992","language":"English","online_url":null,"doi_url":null,"ti_url":null,"categories":[{"id":4,"category_name":"Politics","link":"bib?categories[]=Politics"}],"authors":[{"id":123,"full_name":"Charles E.

| What follows is a detailed study of Averroes's Decisive Treatise based on a new English translation of the text. It seeks to reveal the steps of the exposition, the quality of the reasoning used therein, and the general goal. The study adheres closely to the framework established by Averroes at the outset: namely, that this is an inquiry conducted from the perspective of what is permitted by the divine law of Islam. And it takes seriously the proposition that one can seek for an intelligent and intelligible connection between that law and the results reached through philosophical investigation. Thus, Averroes's ultimate conclusion - that the divine law of Islam and philosophy or wisdom are in basic agreement - is seen to make sense insofar as both seek to provide for the well-being of all members of the community. It makes sense, that is, as an understanding of what governance entails. |

| With particular reference to Averroes' "Commentary on Aristotle's Poetics," it is argued that Averroes could not possibly have understood Aristotle's "Poetics" as it is understood in the modern world. Averroes' "Middle Commentary on Aristotle's Poetics" is also critiqued. |
