Averrоes аsserts thаt “if the аpparent meaning оf Scripture cоnflicts with demonstrative conclusions [deductive truth] it must be interpreted allegorically, i.e., metaphorically.” (The Decisive Treatise, CP, p. 38) Ibn Al-Khatib argues that if probable scriptural truth [i.e. a solitary hadith, one reported by a single chain of narrators] conflicts with empirical truth, scriptural truth should be subordinated to empirical truth: “If it were asked, how do we submit to the theory of contagion, when already the divine law has refuted the notion of contagion, we will answer: The existence of contagion has been proved by experience, deduction, the senses, observations, and by unanimous reports, and these aforementioned categories are the demonstrations of proof. (A Very Useful Inquiry . . ., CP, p. 150) Thesis: There is/is not a strong intellectual analogy between Ibn Al-Khatib’s defense of contagion and Averroes’s defense of deductive reason; that is, both subordinate “revelation” to human reason.
