Avicennae Metaphysica (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258012151)

Avicennae Metaphysica is a philosophical treatise written by the renowned Persian philosopher, Avicenna. The book is a comprehensive exploration of metaphysics, which is the branch of philosophy that deals with the nature of reality, existence, and the universe. Avicenna's work is divided into ten chapters, each of which delves into a different aspect of metaphysics. In the first chapter, Avicenna discusses the concept of being and its relationship to existence. He then moves on to explore the nature of causality, the relationship between cause and effect, and the concept of contingency. In subsequent chapters, Avicenna discusses the nature of substance, the relationship between substance and accident, and the concept of unity. The later chapters of the book focus on the nature of God, the relationship between God and the universe, and the concept of the soul. Avicenna's exploration of these topics is deeply influenced by his Islamic faith, and he draws heavily on Islamic theology in his arguments. Overall, Avicennae Metaphysica is a seminal work in the history of philosophy, and it continues to be studied and debated by scholars to this day. Avicenna's insights into the nature of reality and existence have had a profound impact on the development of Western philosophy, and his work remains a cornerstone of Islamic philosophy and theology.Text Is In Latin.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
