The Nasirean Ethics is the best known ethical digest to be composed
in medieval Persia, if not in all mediaeval Islam. It appeared
initially in 633/1235 when Tūsī was already a celebrated scholar,
scientist, politico-religious propagandist. The work has a special
significance as being composed by an outstanding figure at a
crucial time in the history he was himself helping to shape: some
twenty years later Tūsī was to cross the greatest psychological
watershed in Islamic civilization, playing a leading part in the
capture of Baghdad and the extinction of the generally acknowledged
Caliphate there. In this work the author is primarily concerned
with the criteria of human behaviour: first in terms of space and
priority allotted, at the individual level, secondly, at the
economic level and thirdly at the political level.
A textbook designed to guide students through the difficult early stages of learning Arabic. It shows the beginner how to recognize and deal with current problems of syntax and sight-reading, often making use of simple, 'unscientific' short-cuts where they serve an immediate, practical purpose.
