Description

Explore the intellectual transition between Philoponus and Avicenna with this scholarly investigation. The book examines how the Aristotelian premise regarding finite power led John Philoponus to argue that the world is not everlasting. This research provides a deep look into the philosophical shifts that occurred during a vital period of history. Beyond Philoponus, the text investigates the work of three specific Arabic intellectuals active in the generation before Avicenna (d. 1037). It focuses on Ab l-Khayr Ibn Suw r (d. after 1017), Ab al-Hasan al-Amiri (d. 992), and Ab Sahl al-Mas hi (d. after 1025). By analyzing how each thinker engaged with the concept of finite power, readers gain a better understanding of the unique and novel arguments that shaped early Arabic philosophy. This volume is part of the Scientia Graeco-Arabica series, offering a detailed study of historical thought and the evolution of philosophical debate.
