The theory of motion in Ibn Bajjah's philosophy is studied in this dissertation from three aspects: physical, psychical and metaphysical. Aside from the introduction the dissertation is divided into three major chapters corresponding to these three aspects. Ibn Bajjah's theory of the original time of motion and his contributions to the development of the science of physics in his attempt to build a unified theory of motion are explained in the first chapter. His theory of knowledge and his attempt to describe the philosopher's ascent en route to conjunction with the Intellect are explained in Chapter two. His concern with the Prime Mover is shown in Chapter three. Finally, the text of Ibn Bajjah's Commentary on the Physics (al-Sama' al-tabi'i) of Aristotle is edited here for the first time and is added to the dissertation as an appendix.
