Averroës

Averroes believed that this Acquired Intellect exists separately in every individual so long only as the individual is alive.

The works of Averroes, his contemporary, he did not read until toward the end of his life.

Averroes employs a number of arguments to prove his point, among them being the following.

Of these Averroes, a native of Cordova, who died early in the thirteenth century, was the most eminent.

A form of pantheism known in the philosophy of Averroes soon became a center of skepticism.
