Abstract

Averroes’s legacy during the seventeenth century reflected the changing intellectual climate of that century, yet was not entirely divorced from earlier disputes and movements. Despite the fact that he was no longer representative of the dominant forms of Aristotelianism, Averroes frequently became a point of reference in attacks on Aristotelianism during the seventeenth century. These attacks pointed at him out of a variety of motivations conditioned by developments within new natural philosophies and reformed theology.
