This study, firstly, aims to explain that why Aristotle's De Anima is perceivedas one of main classical book regarding psychology by Muslim philosophers. De Animadetermines basic subjects and problems of psychology and builds explatanory concepts andtheories within logical consistency. Beside that De Anima tries to solve the main problems ofhuman beings such as the meaning of life, freedom, justice and happines. Further, for IbnRuchd, Aristotelian philosophical literature gives the opportunity to establish an harmoniousand consistent human understanding. As a part of this literature, De Anima plays an essentialrole in constructing the relations among God, the nature and human beings.Ibn Ruchd's three commentaries on De Anima are different attemps and examples ofunderstanding and commenting. Therefore, this study tries to determine the characteristicsof these commentaries from the perspective of writing gender and evaluation.
