Description
This high face value stamp pays homage to the great Andalusian philosopher, doctor and jurist Ibn Rushd (1126-1198), whose thought had a colossal influence on the East and the West. The portrait of Ali Fakhet is accompanied by symbols of his disciplines: a scale (justice), laboratory instruments (science) and a manuscript.
Averroes embodies rationalism and the dialogue of cultures. By celebrating this scholar, Tunisia underlines its identity as a land of knowledge and tolerance, and its historical role in the transmission of knowledge between the Arab world and Europe.
