This work engages in a constructive, yet subtle, dialogue with the
nuanced accounts of sensory intentionality and empirical knowledge
offered by the Islamic philosopher Avicenna. This discourse has two
main objectives: (1) providing an interpretation of Avicenna's
epistemology that avoids reading him as a precursor to British
empiricists or as a full-fledged emanatist and (2) bringing light
to the importance of Avicenna's account of experience to relevant
contemporary Anglo-American discussions in epistemology and
metaphysics. These two objectives are interconnected.
Anglo-American philosophy provides the framework for a novel
reading of Avicenna on knowledge and reality, and the latter, in
turn, contributes to adjusting some aspects of the former.
Advancing the Avicennian perspective on contemporary analytic
discourse, this volume is a key resource for researchers and
students interested in comparative and analytic epistemology and
metaphysics as well as Islamic philosophy.
