Double Truth and Averroes's Theory of Material Intellect

Averroists are accused of believing the «Double Truth» theory، based on which a proposition might be true in religion، and، at the same time، its contradict is philosophically true. In this article، at first، the history and significance of this theory is investigated، second، the Averroes'' view about the post-mortem existence of the soul is studied، and، third، through investigating his views، in his philosophical and theological works، we show that his points of view on material intellect and its being common and single for all human beings in the afterlife (unity of Intellect) in his Philosophical works do not contradict his views on post- mortem existence of individual souls in his Theological works.
