Abstract:
In an era when medicine often intertwined with mysticism and tradition, Ibn Rushd (Averroes) emerged as a pioneering figure who championed rational inquiry and empirical observation. A towering intellect of the Islamic Golden Age, Ibn Rushd contributed profoundly to philosophy, law, and medicine. His seminal work Kitab al- Killiyat fi al-Tibb (The Book of Generalities in Medicine) laid the foundation for a systematic understanding of health and therapeutics. Despite his prominence, scholarly attention to his methodology in drug development—particularly his principles of formulation and composition—remains limited. This paper explores Ibn Rushd’s approach to drug development within the framework of Unani medicine, examining how he integrated temperament theory (mizaj), organ-specific action, and logical reasoning to create effective compound formulations. By analyzing his critique of Galenic pharmacology and his emphasis on empirical validation, this study uncovers the enduring relevance of his methods in both historical and contemporary contexts.
