The nine papers collected here explore a broad range of sources for
texts from the classical period of Arabic philosophy, and a broad
range of influence exerted by these texts. By the 'classical
period' is meant that part of the Arabic philosophical tradition
normally included in the canon of 'medieval' philosophy. It begins
in the ninth century, which is when the impact of Greek
philosophical and scientific works began to be felt, thanks to
their translation under the 'Abbasid caliphs, and ends in the
twelfth century. This volume focuses on the influences felt by, and
exerted by, the four main philosophers of this period: al-Kindi,
al-Farabi, Avicenna, and Averroes. But the historical range covered
extends well past the twelfth century, into Latin Renaissance
philosophy and Islamic philosophy of the seventeenth century.
Philosophical themes include human psychology, logic, the influence
of Neoplatonism, and problems in Aristotelian natural philosophy.
