Abu'l-Barakat is often considered one of the most comprehensive
philosophers of the Arabic-Jewish milieu in the medieval age. His
extensive and unique philosophical theories, especially his
theories in the particular sciences, were seen as a major challenge
for the traditional conceptions of the Aristotelian school of
thought during and after this period. 'Abu'l-Barakat al-Baghdadi's
Scientific Philosophy' explores the core material of
Abu'l-Barakat's scientific studies, found in his magnum opus the
Kitab al-Mu'tabar. The book then locates these scientific theories
within Abu'l-Barakat's philosophy more widely. Whilst providing a
comprehensive critique of ancient philosophy, including the work of
Aristotle, certain affinities between Abu'l-Barakat's work and that
of more modern scientific conceptions are also examined. Containing
vast amounts of previously untranslated text, 'Abu'l-Barakat
al-Baghdadi's Scientific Philosophy' sheds new light on the
philosopher's scientific theories, particularly with regards to his
logical conceptions. For this reason, the book will be a valuable
resource for students and scholars of Jewish and Islamic
Philosophy, whilst the scientific material will appeal to those
studying the history of science.
