Beschrijving
Ibn Sînæ, known in the West as Avicenna,
may be considered to be a major figure of
the history of Arabo-Islamic philosophy,
medicine and science. His influence was
substantial and enduring, not only in the
Islamic world, but also in medieval
Christian-Latin and Jewish circles. This
volume includes contributions of eminent
scholars in very different fields of
Avicenna's thought and influence. New
insights are offered inter alia on the
different ways of reception of his
philosophy in the Islamic East or, more
specifically, in Isma'ili thought, or in the
great Shi'ite Iranian thinker, i.e., Mullæ
?adræ; on a recently -thus far unknowntreatise on ethics; on the phenomenon of
pseudepigraphica related to Avicenna; on
several innovative ideas in Avicenna's
logic, physics, metaphysics and zoology;
on the difficult issue of hendyades in the
Avicenna Latinus; on Albert the Great's
probable knowledge of Avicenna's
Preface to the latter's opus magnum; on
William of Auvergne's and Duns Scotus'
critical use of Avicennian ideas in several
aspects of their philosophy; on the
significance of Avicenna for such
particular doctrines as that of relation in
Henry of Ghent or of evil in Thomas of
Aquinas; on Avicenna's direct or indirect
influence on medieval Jewish philosophy,
and, more particularly, on Maimonides;
on the place of Avicenna's medical Qænºn
in the Arabo-Islamic tradition and on the
way it was dealt with in medieval Europe.
Herewith, a serious basis is laid for a
better understanding of Avicenna's
thought and its spread.
