Book Synopsis Avicenna's Al-Shifā' by : Sari Nusseibeh
Download or read book Avicenna's Al-Shifā' written by Sari Nusseibeh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-09 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the philosophy of Ibn Sina - Avicenna as he was known in the Latin West- a Persian Muslim who lived in the eleventh century, considered one of the most important figures in the history of philosophy. Although much has been written about Avicenna, and especially about his major philosophical work, Al-Shifa, this book presents the rationalist Avicenna in an entirely new light, showing him to have presented a theory where our claims of knowledge about the world are in effect just that, claims, and must therefore be underwritten by our faith in God. His project enlists arguments in psychology as well as in language and logic. In a sense, the ceiling he puts on the reach of reason can be compared with later rationalists in the Western tradition, from Descartes to Kant –though, unlike Descartes, he does not deem it necessary to reconstruct his theory of knowledge via a proof of the existence of God. Indeed, Avicenna’s theory presents the concept of God as being necessarily presupposed by our theory of knowledge, and God as the Necessary Being who is presupposed by an existing world where nothing of itself is what it is by an intrinsic nature, and must therefore be as it is due to an external cause. The detailed and original analysis of Avicenna’s work here is presented as what he considered to be his own, or ‘oriental’ philosophy. Presenting an innovative interpretation of Avicenna’s thought, this book will appeal to scholars working on classical Islamic philosophy, kalām and the History of Logic.

Book Synopsis Healing Secrets of Avicenna: It Is Compiled from AvicennaÕs Work, "The Canon of Medicine" and Then Simplified by : Caner Ozogul
Download or read book Healing Secrets of Avicenna: It Is Compiled from AvicennaÕs Work, "The Canon of Medicine" and Then Simplified written by Caner Ozogul and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-01-06 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When i had first read the second volume of Ibn Sina's study, "The Canon of Medicine", telling about which plant is recuperative and the applications of these plants internally and externally. Staying faithful to context of the book, submitting this book on behalf of the community was my biggest wish, during my 2 years. In order to bring simplicity, I worked meticulously to compile an index of plant names together with their latinized forms which are sorted in alphabetical order and also an alphabetical index of diseases, should be used. We can already see that the modern medicine finds out solutions to many diseases but nevertheless, there are still dozens of diseases which can not be healed. For instance, in this work, Ibn Sina explains the reason of why he has named a plant as "Swallow-Wort" as follows: Sometimes the newborn nestlings of a swallow suffer from blindness. It was observed that the mother squeezes the extract of this plant onto their babies' eyelids and then their eyes were healed..
Book Synopsis The Arabic, Hebrew and Latin Reception of Avicenna's Metaphysics by : Dag Nikolaus Hasse
Download or read book The Arabic, Hebrew and Latin Reception of Avicenna's Metaphysics written by Dag Nikolaus Hasse and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-12-23 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avicenna’s Metaphysics (in Arabic: Ilâhiyyât) is the most important and influential metaphysical treatise of classical and medieval times after Aristotle. This volume presents studies on its direct and indirect influence in Arabic, Hebrew, and Latin culture from the time of its composition in the early eleventh century until the sixteenth century. Among the philosophical topics which receive particular attention are the distinction between essence and existence, the theory of universals, the concept of God as the necessary being and the theory of emanation. It is shown how authors such as Averroes, Abraham ibn Daud, Albertus Magnus, Thomas Aquinas and John Duns Scotus react to Avicenna’s metaphysical theories. The studies also address the philological and historical circumstances of the textual tradition in three different medieval cultures. The studies are written by a distinguished international team of contributors, who convened in 2008 to discuss their research in the Villa Vigoni, Italy.

Download or read book Avicenna written by Soheil M. Afnan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-14 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1958, examines the life and works of Avicenna, one of the most provocative figures in the history of thought in the East. It shows him in the right historical perspective, as the product of the impact of Greek thought on Islamic teachings against the background of the Persian Renaissance in the tenth century. His attitude can be of guidance to those in the East who are meeting the challenge of Western civilization; and to those in the West who have yet to find a basis on which to harmonize scientific with spiritual values.

Book Synopsis Chance and Determinism in Avicenna and Averroes by : Catarina Belo
Download or read book Chance and Determinism in Avicenna and Averroes written by Catarina Belo and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2007-02-28 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the question whether medieval Muslim philosophers Avicenna (Arabic Ibn Sīnā 980-1037) and Averroes (Arabic Ibn Rushd 1126-1198) are determinists. With a focus on physics and metaphysics it studies their views on chance events in nature, as well as matter, in particular prime matter, and divine providence. In addition it sets their positions against the historical/philosophical background that influenced their response, the Greco-Arabic philosophical tradition - Aristotelian and Neoplatonic - on the one hand, and the tradition of Islamic theology (kalām) on the other. In comparing their philosophical systems, it lays emphasis on the way in which Avicenna and Averroes use these traditions to offer an original answer to the problem of determinism.
Book Synopsis Avicenna, ›The Healing, Logic: Isagoge‹ by : Avicenna
Download or read book Avicenna, ›The Healing, Logic: Isagoge‹ written by Avicenna and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-04-19 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a new edition, with English translation and commentary, of the Kitāb al-Madḫal, which opens Avicenna’s (d. 1037) most comprehensive summa of Peripatetic philosophy, namely the Kitāb al-Šifāʾ. For the first time, the text is established together with a stemma codicum showing the genealogical relations among 34 manuscripts, the twelfth-century Latin translation, and the literal quotations by Avicenna’s first and second-generation students. In this book, Avicenna’s reappraisal of Porphyry’s Isagoge is examined from both a historical and a philosophical point of view. The key-features of Avicenna’s theory of predicables are analyzed in the General Introduction and in the Commentary both in their own right and against the background of the Greek and Arabic exegetical tradition. Readers shall find in this book the first systematic study of the Madḫal which, in addition to being the only logical work of the Šifāʾ ever transmitted in its entirety both in Arabic and in Latin, is crucial for understanding Avicenna’s conception of universal predicables at the crossroads between logic and metaphysics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avicenna is the greatest philosopher of the Islamic world. His immense impact on Christian and Jewish medieval thought, as well as on the subsequent Islamic tradition, is charted in this volume alongside studies which provide a comprehensive introduction to and analysis of his philosophy. Contributions from leading scholars address a wide range of topics including Avicenna's life and works, conception of philosophy and achievement in logic and medicine. His ideas in the main areas of philosophy, such as epistemology, philosophy of religion and physics, are also analyzed. While serving as a general introduction to Avicenna's thought, this collection of critical essays also represents the cutting edge of scholarship on this most influential philosopher of the medieval era.
