This volume brings together contributions from distinguished
scholars in the history of philosophy, focusing on points of
interaction between discrete historical contexts, religions, and
cultures found within the premodern period. The contributions
connect thinkers from antiquity through the Middle Ages and include
philosophers from the three major monotheistic faiths-Judaism,
Islam, and Christianity. By emphasizing premodern philosophy's
shared textual roots in antiquity, particularly the writings of
Plato and Aristotle, the volume highlights points of
cross-pollination between different schools, cultures, and moments
in premodern thought. Approaching the complex history of the
premodern world in an accessible way, the editors organize the
volume so as to underscore the difficulties the premodern period
poses for scholars, while accentuating the fascinating interplay
between the Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, and Latin philosophical
traditions. The contributors cover many topics ranging from the
aims of Aristotle's cosmos, the adoption of Aristotle's Organon by
al-Farabi, and the origins of the Plotiniana Arabica to the role of
Ibn Gabirol's Fons vitae in the Latin West, the ways in which
Islamic philosophy shaped thirteenth-century Latin conceptions of
light, Roger Bacon's adaptation of Avicenna for use in his moral
philosophy, and beyond. The volume's focus on "source-based
contextualism" demonstrates an appreciation for the rich diversity
of thought found in the premodern period, while revealing
methodological challenges raised by the historical study of
premodern philosophy. Contextualizing Premodern Philosophy:
Explorations of the Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, and Latin Traditions is
a stimulating resource for scholars and advanced students working
in the history of premodern philosophy.
