Where there are many echoes of Hellenistic moral philosophy in his presentation, the topical profile of the work and the language the author uses reveal his participation in the Baghdad circle of philosophers and intellectuals--both Christian and Muslim--who were responsible for much that has come to be regarded as typical of the classical culture of the Islamic world. In fact, this text has occasionally been attributed to one or another famous Muslim author. It now stands as an important Christian contribution, in Arabic, to a strand of moral philosophy that is an integral component of the intellectual tradition of the world of Islam.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yah'ya Ibn 'Adi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0934893691\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780934893695\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brigham Young University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.46h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Yah'ya Ibn 'Adi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46867311329535,"sku":"9780934893695","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_42a64c8f-81d6-44c2-8aa0-4df78d84bf05.jpg?v=1747454443","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-reformation-of-morals-yahya-ibn-adi-9780934893695","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
