In his day, al-Kindi (ca. 805-870) was the only philosopher of pure
Arab descent, and became known as \u201cthe philosopher of the
Arabs.\u201d He was one of the first Arab scholars interested in a
scientific rather than theological viewpoint, and played a key role
in bringing Greek learning into the orbit of Islam. al-Kindi wrote
over three hundred fifty treatises, for the most part short studies
on special topics in science and philosophy. Nicholas Rescher
assembles this annotated bibliography, listing of over three
hundred items, to assist students and scholars through the maze of
publications related to al-Kindi.
