Since Raphael used contemporary figures like Michelangelo, Leonardo, etc as the models for the figures in the School of Athens perhaps whoever he used as the model for Ibn Rushd amused Julius? Like perhaps it was a lost inside joke, or a dig at someone Raphael knew the Pope didn't like.

@murtazaarif6507 2 месяца назад

I like Dante's limbo heaven. It's like a big party where everybody brings their differences. It's actually a much more factual and logical heaven than we realize like the catholic intermediate heaven it is actually similar to the Islamic intermediary heaven called barzak which is actually another very interesting and logical concept to explore deeply. I hope you do a video on it too. As Dante says it's about living life with good morals and learning these lessons. This is exactly why we come into this world. Yes I also think religious writers deleted the Islamic history from the western world much like how black people are now rising because their history was deleted from history books. The survival of philosophical thinking after the material life sounds somewhat like the collective unconscious and genetics through the interplay between genotype and phenotypes genes. A little bit like what Carl Jung might have said too. Looks like people misunderstood Ibn Sina because of propaganda against him by the rulers of the time. Now Islam is spreading in Europe because people are discovering the truths much like your own reflection in this video.
