Abstract

This study aims to analyze Ibn Rushd's rational thought and its influence on the intellectual development of the Western world. Ibn Rushd was one of the leading Muslim philosophers who succeeded in establishing a synthesis between the Greek philosophical tradition and Islamic teachings through a systematic rational approach. This study uses a library research method with a descriptive-analytical approach. Data was obtained from various books, scientific journal articles, and relevant academic sources, then analyzed using content analysis and comparative analysis techniques. The results of the study show that Ibn Rushd's rationality rests on the burhani (demonstrative) method that integrates empirical observation, logic, and rational argumentation in acquiring knowledge. He emphasized that reason and revelation are two sources of truth that come from God so that they cannot contradict each other. When there is a conflict between religious texts and the results of rational reasoning, Ibn Rushd offers the concept  of takwil as an interpretive solution that allows the creation of harmonization between the two. In addition, his intellectual response to Al-Ghazali's criticism through the work of Tahafut al-Tahafut strengthened the legitimacy of philosophy in the Islamic tradition. Ibn Rushd's thought was then transmitted to Europe through the translation of his works into Latin and gave birth to the tradition of Averroism which influenced the development of rationalism, freedom of thought, scholasticism, and the Renaissance movement. Thus, Ibn Rushd can be seen as an intellectual bridge that connects Islamic and Western civilization and makes an important contribution to the development of philosophy, science, and the tradition of modern thought.

Abstract

The Industrial Revolution represents a critical turning point in world history, characterized by structural transformations across social, economic, and technological domains. Marking the transition from agrarian-based production to mechanized industrial systems, this process reshaped patterns of labor, capital accumulation, and technological innovation, particularly in Europe. England emerged as the earliest center of industrialization due to a convergence of political stability, resource availability, scientific advancement, capital formation, and institutional support for innovation. This article examines the Industrial Revolution through an integrated analysis of its social, economic, and technological transformations in Europe. Employing a qualitative descriptive design based on a literature review of historical monographs and peer-reviewed scholarship, the study synthesizes key historiographical perspectives. The findings reveal that industrialization reconfigured social structures through accelerated urbanization and class formation, reorganized economic life through the consolidation of industrial capitalism and the expansion of global trade networks, and intensified technological change via innovations such as steam power that restructured production and transportation. Taken together, these transformations demonstrate that the Industrial Revolution functioned as a multidimensional and interconnected process that established the structural foundations of modern European society, while simultaneously generating enduring social tensions inherent to industrial development.
