Poslanica pred nama odgovor je Ibn Rušda, na Zapadu poznatijeg kao Averroes, na pitanje koje se u svim vremenima uvijek iznova nameće i potencira, a to je da filozofi ja kao racionalan metod dosezanja istine nije kompaktibilna s učenjima objavljene vjere, a prema nekim ekstremnijim stavovima vjera u potpunosti odbacuje filozofski metod. Ibn Rušd, nasuprot ovih stavova, iznosi veoma jasne dokaze u prilog fi lozofi je, pritom dokazujući da vjera, štaviše, poziva i afirmira filozofski metod.
This treatise is an answer from Ibn Rushd, more known in the West as Averroes, to a problem that re-poses itself in every epoch and which states that philosophy as a rational method of reaching the truth is not compatible with the teaching of revealed religion, and that, according to some more extreme views, religion totally rejects philosophical method. In opposition to these views, Ibn Rushd presents clear evidence in favour of philosophy, proving at the same time that religion even calls to philosophical method and affi rms it.
