Avicenna's Metaphysics (in Arabic: Ilahiyyat) 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.
