Description

This scholarly collection brings together 15 papers examining two foundational figures in philosophical history: Plotinus, the greatest philosopher of late antiquity and founder of Neoplatonism (d. 270), and al-Kindi, the founding figure of philosophy in the Islamic world (d. ca. 873). The papers explore crucial connections between these thinkers, particularly through the Theology of Aristotle, an Arabic version of Plotinus' Enneads produced within al-Kindi's translation circle. Adamson's contributions argue that this translation represents a sophisticated reinterpretation of Plotinus designed to resonate with readers in the Abbasid era, demonstrating how ancient philosophical thought was adapted and recontextualised across cultures. This Routledge collection serves researchers and students of ancient philosophy, Islamic intellectual history, and the transmission of classical texts.
