Avempace (Ibn Bajja) is an Andalusian philosopher, born in 487 AH/1080 AD in Zaragoza, Andalusia, in northeastern Spain today. In his last twenty years, he worked as a minister and doctor in the Almoravid state and authored 28 books, mostly on astronomy, medicine, mathematics, literature, and music. However, his most famous work on philosophy, Tadbeer Al-Mutawhid (the Handling of the Solitary), is considered a thought-dense book in which Ibn Bajja explains his philosophy in an excellent manner.
