Averroes (Ibn Rushd 1126-1198), philosopher and magistrate, came into conflict with the 'Maliki' jurists and the 'Ash'rite Salafist' theologians of his time who held to the traditionalist and literalist thought according to which the truth is explicit in the revealed text so that it does not require interpretation. Averroes developed a new conception of truth whose goal was to reconcile two different orders of truth. These are variously described as revelation and reason, or faith and the faculty of human judgment, or the truth through others rather than the truth through oneself. By deepening the rationalism of Aristotle, he brought to light the new intellectual conditions that Maimonides, among the Jews, and Thomas Aquinas, among the Catholics, took advantage of to develop new theological systems. All medieval thought was marked by the following duality: revelation versus rationality (hermeneutical and philosophical), or in other words by a desire to harmonise the given revealed according to the necessary constraints of reason. Can the theory of truth in Averroes contribute to better, flexible, and peaceful integration of Muslims in plural societies? This text proposes to examine theory of truth of Averroes presented in 'Fasl al-Maqâl' ('The Decisive Treaty') and 'Tahâfut al tahafut' ('The Incoherence of Inconsistency'), and then to examine the conditions of the abandonment of this theory in the post-Averroes Islamic episteme that retained only the truth of revelation. Finally, this text will show that Averroes's conception of truth is fundamentally a philosophy of recognition driven by three universal principles: (1) understanding the others in their own system of reference, (2) understanding freedom as a responsibility in the search for truth, (3) recognising the right to be different through respect for others.

Un tema controvertido en el pensamiento de Averroes es la relación entre filosofía y religión. Averroes se ocupa de ella de manera sumamente original en el Faṣl al-maqāl. En este artículo propondré una ruta de interpretación ligeramente distinta de la que otros intérpretes de este tratado han aportado. Sostendré que puede ser leído como un tratado de argumentación donde Averroes se ocupa no únicamente de mostrar la armonía entre la ley religiosa y la filosofía, sino también de esbozar una teoría de la argumentación sumamente flexible que le sirve para definir el estatuto epistémico de las creencias religiosas. A controversial matter in Averroes' thought is the relationship between philosophy and religion. Averroes deals with this issue in an original fashion within the text of Faṣl al-maqāl. In this paper I propose a slightly different interpretation from that of other interpreters of this treatise. I argue that it can be read as a treatise on argumentation where Averroes not only proves the harmony between religious law and philosophy, but also outlines an extremely flexible theory of argumentation which serves to define the epistemic status of religious beliefs.
