How did the theory of double truth become linked with Latin Averroism?

The theory of double-truth became linked to Latin Averroism primarily through the accusations of contemporary theologians who were alarmed by the growing rationalism of 13th-century Parisian masters. These philosophers, who sought to interpret Aristotle strictly through the lens of Averroës, taught doctrines—such as the eternity of the world and the oneness of the intellect—that appeared to contradict Christian dogma.12

Critics accused these thinkers of maintaining two contradictory truths: one dictated by faith and another established by human reason. While some followers of this movement indeed asserted the right of the philosopher to follow reason to its natural conclusions even when they conflicted with faith, it is widely held by scholars that neither Averroës himself nor the Latin Averroists actually proposed a formal theory of double truth. Instead, the attribution served as a polemical tool for traditionalist theologians to attack the perceived threat of pagan and Islamic philosophies to the Christian faith, eventually leading to formal condemnations in 1277.13
