Die Philosophischen Abhandlungen des Ja'qÅ«b Ben IshÄq Al-Kindi

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of four philosophical treatises written by the Arab polymath Al-Kindi in the 9th century. The treatises cover a range of topics, including the nature of the intellect, the causes of sleep and dreams, and the principles of logical reasoning. Al-Kindi was one of the first philosophers to write extensively on these subjects, and his work had a major influence on the development of Islamic and Western thought. The first treatise, "On the Intellect," explores the nature of the human intellect and its relationship to the soul. Al-Kindi argues that the intellect is a distinct faculty of the soul, and that it is capable of acquiring knowledge through both sensation and reason. The second treatise, "On the Causes of Sleep and Dreams," investigates the causes of sleep and dreams, and argues that dreams are caused by the activity of the imaginative faculty of the soul. The third treatise, "On the Principles of Logical Reasoning," discusses the principles of logical reasoning and provides a method for distinguishing between valid and invalid arguments. The fourth treatise, "On the Five Essences," explores the nature of the five basic elements of the universe: matter, form, time, place, and motion. Al-Kindi's work is significant for its contributions to the development of logic, metaphysics, and psychology. His ideas were influential in the development of Islamic thought, and they had a major impact on the development of Western thought through the work of later philosophers such as Albertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas.
