Philosopher poll: On the left picture is Averroes (Ibn Rushd). Averroes was a Muslim-Aristotelian philosopher who is most famous for his extensive commentaries on the works of Aristotle. In the West, he was most known as “The Commentator” by Scholastic philosophers such as Thomas Aquinas.
On the right picture is Maimonides, also known as Moses ben Maimon, and Rabbi Moses. Maimonides was most famously a Jewish-Aristotelian philosopher and Torah scholar. Arguably his most famous and important work is the “Guide for the Perplexed” which seeks to reconcile Jewish theology with Aristotelian philosophy.
