Description

Explore the deep connections between late antiquity and the Islamic world with this collection of scholarly research. This volume brings together 15 significant papers focusing on two monumental figures: Plotinus, the founder of Neoplatonism, and al-Kindi, a foundational philosopher in the Islamic tradition. A central theme of this work is the "Theology of Aristotle," a text that serves as a bridge between these two thinkers. This text is actually an Arabic version of Plotinus' Enneads, created within the translation circle of al-Kindi. Through these studies, Adamson provides a new perspective on how this translation functioned not just as a copy, but as a reinterpretation of Plotinus intended for readers within a specific cultural context. This book is an essential resource for students and scholars of ancient history, philosophy, and the history of translation. It offers a detailed look at how philosophical ideas moved across cultures and were adapted to meet the needs of new intellectual environments.
