of his time, he always searched for the truth. Throughout his life the empire
of Islam was at its height and Cordoba his birthplace was one of the leading
centers for global scientific thought. He argued for the freedom of thought and
expression as long as it was not harmful or damaging to society. Ibn Rushed was
ahead of his time as he called for women to be active participants in society
in both an economic and intellectual sense. He was a senior judge in Spain
before being appointed as the head of all judges. He lived for seventy-five
years and passed away in 1201. Many of his works were later translated into different
