Book Synopsis The Influence of Averroes on European Thought by : Koert Debeuf
Download or read book The Influence of Averroes on European Thought written by Koert Debeuf and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-11-14 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By exploring the influence of the Andalusian philosopher, Averroes or Ibn Rushd (1126-1198 AD) on European philosophy from the 13th to the 18th century, Koert Debeuf sheds light on a neglected side of the history of philosophy: the influence of Arabic thought on European philosophy. In this book Debeuf reveals the true extent of Averroes's role, showing it as much larger than we read about in popular histories of philosophy. His ideas have been followed, fought and discussed in Europe for centuries, deeply influencing generations of thinkers. Why has Averroes' role been forgotten? By focusing on histories of philosophy written from the 17th to the 21st century, Debeuf provides a chronological overview that shows that Arabic philosophy was not just forgotten, but purposefully written out of the history of philosophy. Until the early Enlightenment most European thinkers were convinced that the history of philosophy was universalistic. That changed in the 18th century with the rise and dominance of Christian and European idea. Although the battle against Arabic philosophy started more than 700 years ago we see how it is still alive today. This much-needed study encourages us to challenge and reassess our existing ideas about the history of philosophy and Eurocentric interpretations of one of philosophy's major figures.
Book Synopsis Ibn Rushd (Averroes) by : Dominique Urvoy
Download or read book Ibn Rushd (Averroes) written by Dominique Urvoy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-06-13 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twelfth-century philosopher Ibn Rushd, also known as Averroes, played a crucial role in the transmission of classical philosophy to Islam, and his work had a profound influence on western scholasticism and on aspects of Renaissance thought. This book, first published in 1991, sets out the main elements of Ibn Rushd¿s work against the historical and cultural background of Muslim Spain. It shows how his writings formed part of the wider movement of Almohadism and seeks to understand the mixed reception of his thought and the rise and fall of his reputation.
Book Synopsis Renaissance Averroism and Its Aftermath: Arabic Philosophy in Early Modern Europe by : Anna Akasoy
Download or read book Renaissance Averroism and Its Aftermath: Arabic Philosophy in Early Modern Europe written by Anna Akasoy and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-13 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the transmission of Greek philosophy and science via the Muslim world to western Europe in the Middle Ages has been closely scrutinized, the fate of the Arabic philosophical and scientific legacy in later centuries has received less attention, a fault this volume aims to correct. The authors in this collection discuss in particular the radical ideas associated with Averroism that are attributed to the Aristotle commentator Ibn Rushd (1126-1198) and challenge key doctrines of the Abrahamic religions. This volume examines what happened to Averroes’s philosophy during the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Did early modern thinkers really no longer pay any attention to the Commentator? Were there undercurrents of Averroism after the sixteenth century? How did Western authors in this period contextualise Averroes and Arabic philosophy within their own cultural heritage? How different was the Averroes they created as a philosopher in a European tradition from Ibn Rushd, the theologian, jurist and philosopher of the Islamic tradition?

Book excerpt: Available for the first time in the English language, this is a complete and annotated translation of a key work by the twelfth-century Muslim philosopher, Averroes (Ibn Rushd). Acknowledged as the leading transmitter of Aristotelian th ought, Averroes also held controversial views about the re lationship between faith and reason, arguing that religion should not be allowed to impose limits on the exercise of rational thought.

Book Synopsis Averroes, the Decisive Treatise by : Averroës
Download or read book Averroes, the Decisive Treatise written by Averroës and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Decisive Treatise is perhaps the most controversial work of Averroes (Ibn Rushd, 1126-1198) and belongs to a trilogy which boldly represent the philosophical contribution to Islamic theology of this famous Andalusian commentator on Aristotle. The Decisive Treatise is a fatwa (a legal opinion) that the judge, Averroes, promulgated for his fellow Malikite jurists in order to demonstrate that the study of philosophy is not only licit from the point of view of religious law, but even mandatory for the skilled people. However, many subjects are dealt with in this comparatively short book: An epistemology aimed to show that philosophical truth and religious truth are not in contradiction; a sociology of knowledge pointing out that humans are classified in three classes (philosophers, theologians, common folk); a Qur'anic hermeneutics suggesting how to approach philosophically the Holy Book in agreement with religious requirements and linguistic rules.
Book Synopsis Averroes on Plato's "Republic" by : Averroes
Download or read book Averroes on Plato's "Republic" written by Averroes and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-21 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In one fashion or another, the question with which this introduction begins is a question for every serious reader of Plato's Republic: Of what use is this philosophy to me? Averroes clearly finds that the Republic speaks to his own time and to his own situation.... Perhaps the greatest use he makes of the Republic is to understand better the shari'a itself.... It is fair to say that in deciding to paraphrase the Republic, Averroes is asserting that his world—the world defined and governed by the Koran—can profit from Plato's instruction."—from Ralph Lerner’s IntroductionAn indispensable primary source in medieval political philosophy is presented here in a fully annotated translation of the celebrated discussion of the Republic by the twelfth-century Andalusian Muslim philosopher, Abu'l-Walid Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Ibn Rushd, also know by his his Latinized name, Averroes. This work played a major role in both the transmission and the adaptation of the Platonic tradition in the West. In a closely argued critical introduction, Ralph Lerner addresses several of the most important problems raised by the work.
Book Synopsis The Heavens and the Earth: Graeco-Roman, Ancient Chinese, and Mediaeval Islamic Images of the World by : Vittorio Cotesta
Download or read book The Heavens and the Earth: Graeco-Roman, Ancient Chinese, and Mediaeval Islamic Images of the World written by Vittorio Cotesta and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-08-16 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vittorio Cotesta’s The Heavens and the Earth traces the origin of the images of the world typical of the Graeco-Roman, Ancient Chinese and Medieval Islamic civilisations. Each of them had its own peculiar way of understanding the universe, life, death, society, power, humanity and its destiny. The comparative analysis carried out here suggests that they all shared a common human aspiration despite their differences: human being is unique; differences are details which enrich its image. Today, the traditions derived from these civilisations are often in competition and conflict. Reference to a common vision of humanity as a shared universal entity should lead, instead, to a quest for understanding and dialogue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The centuries immediately following upon the monumental achievements of Avicenna (d. 1036) have been rightly characterized as a golden age of science and philosophy.

Critical thinking in logic and astronomy, medicine and metaphysics spurred many new developments. This volume presents seventeen essays on Avicenna, his followers and his critics, many of whom are just now being introduced to western scholarship. The contributors to Avicenna and his Legacy include both established scholars as well as some of the best of the new generation.

Book Synopsis On the Therapeutic Method by : Galen
Download or read book On the Therapeutic Method written by Galen and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hankinson provides here the first translation into any modern language of Galen's On the Therapeutic Method together with an introduction and a philosophical commentary. On the Therapeutic Method, written late in Galen's life, represents the distillation in its most complete form of Galen's views on the nature, genesis, proper classification, and treatment of disease. It was one of the most widely read of all classical texts during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and formed the core of the medical curriculum in the nineteenth century. It has been unjustly neglected in modern times. The first two books of the work contain a fascinating collection of views on scientific terminology and taxonomy, the application of the logical methods of collection and division to science, the axiomatization of science, and the structure of causation.

Book Synopsis The Historical Role of Islam by : M N Roy

Book excerpt: THE HISTORICAL ROLE OF ISLAM (An Essay on Islamic Culture) by M N Roy first published in 1937. The phenomenal success of Islam was primarily due to its revolutionary significance and its ability to lead the masses out of the hopeless situation created by the decay of antique civilizations not only of Greece and Rome but of Persia and China and of India. The sword of Islam, wielded ostensibly at the service of God, actually contributed to the victory of a new social force-the blossoming of a new intellectual life which eventually dug the graves of all religions and faiths. The spirit of Islam was not invented by the genius of Mohammad; nor was it revealed to him. It was a heritage of history conferred on the Arabian nation. The greatness of Mohammad was his ability to recognize the value of the heritage and make his countrymen conscious of it.
