Opis

This book collects papers on the greatest philosopher of late antiquity and founder of Neoplatonism, Plotinus (d. 270), and the founding figure of philosophy in the Islamic world: al-KindÄ« (d. ca. 873). A number of the contributions focus on the text that joins the two: the Theology of Aristotle, in fact an Arabic version of Plotinus’ Enneads prod

Recenzje

"These thoughtful papers demonstrate the erudition for which Adamson is known (…) He presents evidence that helps explain, among other things, why Kindian tradition was short-lived in philosophy." - Anthony F. Shaker, McGill University
