Averroes. La luz de la razón

Few figures have symbolized the encounter between cultures as powerfully as Averroes (Ibn Rushd). Philosopher, physician, jurist, and one of the great interpreters of Aristotle, his thought transformed Córdoba into one of history's great intellectual centers and bequeathed to East and West a defense of reason, dialogue, and knowledge whose relevance remains undiminished. To mark the Averroes Year, more than one hundred poets from fourteen countries were invited and responded to the call, not to fix a single image of Averroes, but to open it up, multiply it, return it to its essential condition as thought in motion, and ultimately, to celebrate his enduring legacy. They also sought to recognize in language a common ground where plurality is not dissolved, but rather illuminated.
