About This Item

Turnhout Brepols 2010. Hardback, XVI+381 p., 5 b/w ill., 20 b/w tables, 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503527536. Readers interested in the history of science and philosophy will enjoy this collection on the Islamic thinker Avicenna, whose work and influence remain understudied, even though the legacy has rightly been characterized as a Golden Age of science and philosophy. The centuries immediately following upon the monumental achievements of Avicenna (d. 1036) have been rightly characterized as a golden age of science and philosophy. Generation after generation scrutinized the Avicennan legacy, explicating and expanding upon the wealth of writings left by the master. 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. Languages : English.
