Widely regarded as the founder of the Islamic philosophical
tradition, and as the single greatest philosophical authority after
Aristotle by his successors in the medieval Islamic, Jewish, and
Christian communities, Alfarabi was a leading figure in the fields
of Aristotelian logic and Platonic political science. The first
complete English translation of his commentary on Aristotle's
Topics, Alfarabi's Book of Dialectic, or Kitab al-Jadal, is
presented here in a deeply researched edition based on the most
complete Arabic manuscript sources. David M. DiPasquale argues that
Alfarabi's understanding of the Socratic art of dialectic is the
key prism through which to grasp his recovery of an authentic
tradition of Greek science on the verge of extinction. He also
suggests that the Book of Dialectic is unique to the extent to
which it unites Alfarabi's logical and political writings, opening
up novel ways of interpreting Alfarabi's influence.
