Abu’l-Barakat al-Baghdadi’s Scientific Philosophy: The Kitab al-Mu‘tabar - Routledge Jewish Studies Series
Moshe Pavlov
Ab??l-Barak?t is often considered one of the most comprehensive philosophers of the Arabic-Jewish milieu in the medieval age. His extensive and unique philosophical theories, especially his theories in the particular sciences, were seen as a major challenge for the traditional conceptions of the Aristotelian school of thought during and after this period.
?Ab??l-Barak?t al-Baghd?d??s Scientific Philosophy? explores the core material of Ab??l-Barak?t?s scientific studies, found in his magnum opus the Kit?b al-Mu?tabar. The book then locates these scientific theories within Ab??l-Barak?t?s philosophy more widely. Whilst providing a comprehensive critique of ancient philosophy, including the work of Aristotle, certain affinities between Ab??l-Barak?t?s work and that of more modern scientific conceptions are also examined.
Containing vast amounts of previously untranslated text, ?Ab??l-Barak?t al-Baghd?d??s Scientific Philosophy? sheds new light on the philosopher?s scientific theories, particularly with regards to his logical conceptions. For this reason, the book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of Jewish and Islamic Philosophy, whilst the scientific material will appeal to those studying the history of science.
