2º de Bachillerato: Averroes y Maimónides: La filosofía andalusí

   El documental de Jacob Bender, titulado Los sabios de Córdoba, recoge las aportaciones de los dos grandes filósofos activos en Al-Andalus durante la Edad Media: el árabe Averroes y el  hebreo Maimónides, resaltando sus aportaciones al entendimiento entre las culturas, en anticipo de la denominada actualmente "Alianza de Civilizaciones" (tan denostada por algunos, por utópica, mientras que otros -entre los que me encuentro- la consideran inevitable):

   También os ofrezco algunos documentales elaborados por el filósofo francés Roger Garaudy, hoy prácticamente olvidado, quien fue, sin embargo, uno de los primeros en anticipar la necesidad de la citada Alianza; no están completos, pero al menos sugieren ideas y abren horizontes sobre este período del pensamiento medieval:



   ¿Y qué me decís de esta bonita canción de Kareem Salama, titulada "Aristóteles y Averroes"?: un hermoso canto a la sabiduría y la amistad, basada en parámetros intelectuales:

Aristotle And Averroes Lyrics

I was like you and yes you were like me
We were so much alike but unique as can be
Friends til the end and we were quite the right team
Like those two men Aristotle and Averroes

It was a cold evening near the end of fall
That we made our aqaintance for nothing at all
But the common interest to make melodies
And little did we know the fine friends we would be

At first you spoke little and I said a lot
But in time you would trust me with the depth of your thought
And though we were only young men at the time
We had souls of the ancients with the youth left to climb

I was like you and yes you were like me
We were so much alike but unique as can be
Friends til the end and we were quite the right team
Like those two men Aristotle and Averroes

I was like you and yes you were like me
We were so much alike but unique as can be
Friends til the end and we were quite the right team
Like those two men Aristotle and Averroes

I was walking down the road many took
Studied all the classics learned all the great books
But I listened to the inspiration inside of me
And expected the least but had the courage to see

There was a time when the world didn't know
The way you could make a song from just a few notes
But never did you imagine, never did I
That with difference and some brilliance we'd come back to life

I was like you and yes you were like me
We were so much alike but unique as can be
Friends til the end and we were quite the right team
Like those two men Aristotle and Averroes

I was like you and yes you were like me
We were so much alike but unique as can be
Friends til the end and we were quite the right team
Like those two men Aristotle and Averroes
