The Movement of Life and the Balance of Health: Ibn Sīnā on Exercise, Regimen, and the Preservation of the Body (Ancient Wisdom Collection) - Couverture rigide
Synopsis
This volume presents a curated and thematically organized translation of selected passages on riyāḍa (exercise) from the Canon of Medicine (al-Qānūn fī al-ṭibb) of Ibn Sīnā. Drawing on Books I-IV of the Canon, it brings together both the systematic chapters in which exercise is treated as a central component of regimen, and the numerous dispersed references in which it appears as a governing principle in physiology, pathology, and therapy.
In Ibn Sīnā's medical thought, exercise is a foundational mechanism of life. It sustains the body's internal balance by promoting transformation, aiding digestion, and preventing the accumulation of harmful residues. Its proper use-defined by moderation, timing, and adaptation to individual condition-extends across all domains of medicine: from the preservation of health and the development of the body, to the treatment of disease and the regulation of daily life. This volume traces that breadth, showing how a single principle operates across multiple levels of a unified medical system.Ibn Sīnā (980-1037), known in the Latin tradition as Avicenna, was one of the most influential physicians and philosophers of the medieval world. His Canon of Medicine remained a central medical text in both the Islamic world and Europe for centuries. Combining clinical observation with philosophical rigor, he articulated a comprehensive vision of the human body as a dynamic system governed by processes of balance, transformation, and motion.By assembling and translating these passages, this volume offers both a focused study of riyāḍa and an entry point into Ibn Sīnā's broader medical philosophy-one that continues to invite reflection on the nature of health, the role of movement, and the enduring continuity of knowledge across time and civilizations.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
