Opis

Collected together for the first time, these articles present an engaging and thorough history of Aristotelian philosophy during this period in the Near East, in Syriac and Arabic.

Recenzje

‘This extraordinary collection of fourteen articles is a very important, useful and engaging contribution to the intellectual history of Aristotelian philosophy during this specific period in the Near East, in Syriac and Arabic. It is also a very demanding book that is clearly written for specialists in the field but that would doubtless be of interest to scholars working on all aspects of intellectual history ... Watt is clearly a master in his field of research, and his erudition glimmers through on every page of this book. The author and his publisher should be commended for putting together this excellent and inspiring Variorum collection’ - International Journal of the Classical Tradition
