Avicenna was the dominant philosophical authority in this period, who provoked generations of thinkers to subtle critique, defense, and development of his ideas. The series will translate and analyze hundreds of passages from works by such figures as al-Ghazālī, al-Suhrawardī, Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī, Naṣīr al-Dīn al-Ṭūsī, and many more. This volume focuses especially on issues in metaphysics, dealing with topics like the essence-existence distinction, the problem of universals, free will and determinism, Platonic Forms, good and evil, proofs of God's existence, and the relationship between philosophy and theology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Adamson, Fedor Benevich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004503986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004503984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/25\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 740\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Peter Adamson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44302099677439,"sku":"9789004503984","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e71f0589-b6c1-4323-a3b7-8dbce807c7db.jpg?v=1695159513","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-heirs-of-avicenna-peter-adamson-9789004503984","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
