His philosophic ideas had a clear effect on Ibn Rushd and Albertus Magnus. Most of his writings and book were not completed (or well-organized) because of his early death. He had a vast knowledge of medicine, mathematics and astronomy. His main contribution to Islamic philosophy is his idea on soul phenomenology, which was never completed. Avempace was, in his time, not only a prominent figure of philosophy, but also of music and poetry.〔D. M. Dunlop, "The Dīwān Attributed to Ibn Bājjah (Avempace)", ''Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London'' Vol. 14, No. 3, Studies Presented to Vladimir Minorsky by His Colleagues and Friends (1952), pp. 463''〕 His diwan (Arabic: collection of poetry) was rediscovered in 1951. Though many of his works have not survived, his theories on astronomy and physics were preserved by Maimonides and Averroes respectively, which had a subsequent influence on later astronomers and physicists in the Islamic civilization and Renaissance Europe, including Galileo Galilei.〔Ernest A. Moody (April 1951). "Galileo and Avempace: The Dynamics of the Leaning Tower Experiment (I)", ''Journal of the History of Ideas'' 12 (2), p. 163-193.〕 ==Biography== He was born in Zaragoza in what is today Aragon, Spain, around 1085〔http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/ibn-bajja/#LifCir〕 and died in Fes, Morocco, in 1138. Avempace worked as vizir for Abu Bakr ibn Ibrahim Ibn Tîfilwît, the Almoravid governor of Zaragoza. Avempace also wrote poems (panegyrics and ''muwasshahat'') for him. Avempace joined in poetic competitions with the poet al-Tutili. He later worked, for some twenty years, as the vizir of Yahyà ibn Yûsuf Ibn Tashufin, another brother of the Almoravid Sultan Yusuf Ibn Tashufin (died 1143) in Morocco.〔Vincent Lagardère, 1989, pp. 80 and 174-178)〕 Among his many teachers was Abu Jafar ibn Harun of Trujillo a physician in Seville, Al-Andalus. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Avempace」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
