A propos de cet article

Paperback. Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, InspiringThis book provides an introduction to the most important philosopher of the Islamic world, Ibn S=in=a, often known in English by his Latinized name Avicenna. After introducing the man and his works, with an overview of the historical context in which he lived, the book devotes chapters to the different areas of Ibn S=in=a's thought. Among the topics covered are hisinnovations in logic, his theory of the human soul and its powers, the relation between his medical writings and his philosophy, and his metaphysics of existence. Particular attention is given to two famous arguments: his flyingman thought experiment and the so-called " a proof for the existence of God as the Necessary Existent. A distinctive feature of the book is its attention to the relationship between Ibn S=in=a and Islamic rational theology (kal=am): in which we see how Ibn S=in=a responded to this tradition in many areas of his thought. A final chapter looks at Ibn S=in=a's legacy in both the Islamic world and in Latin Christendom. Here Adamson focuses onthe critical responses to Ibn S=in=a in subsequent generations by such figures as al-Ghaz=al=i, al-Suhraward=i, and Fakhr al-D=in al-R=az=i.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford UniversityPress contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.
