The volume initially focuses on the group of Peripatetics working in Baghdad with al-Farabi's teacher Abu Bishr Matta and his student Yahya ibn 'Adi who worked in the Aristotelian tradition. Other papers look at thinkers working in the Neoplatonic tradition transmitted by al-Kindi's circle, such as al-'Amiri, Ibn Farighun and al-Isfizari. The Epistles of the Brethren of Purity provide compelling evidence of the fusion of Neoplatonism and Greek science with contemporary Islamic religious thought. Neoplatonic ideas also appear in the symbology of Isma'ili thought at this time\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Adamson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0854811478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780854811472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Warburg Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Peter Adamson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48449024131327,"sku":"9780854811472","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_371165a4-dca7-456f-8b3f-c2930f8b5903.jpg?v=1777261619","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-the-age-of-al-farabi-peter-adamson-9780854811472","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
