Series: Islamic Philosophy and Theology; Texts and Studies, vol. IV. 8vo. xii, 341 pp. Blue cloth, gilt. Ownership ink signature of David C. Lindberg. Scarce. Fine. Within Arabic philosophy, Gutas has concentrated in particular on its greatest exponent, Ibn Sina (known as Avicenna in the medieval Latin world), on whom he wrote the fundamental Avicenna and the Aristotelian Tradition. Introduction to Reading Avicenna's Philosophical Works (Leiden 1988; second, revised and augmented edition, including an inventory of Avicenna's authentic works, Leiden 2013). â" Author. / Arranged in three parts: I: Documents on Avicenna and the Aristotelian Tradition; II: Avicenna's Reception to the Aristotelian Tradition; III: Avicenna's Integration to the Aristotelian Tradition. / "In the past fifteen years, research into the life, times, and philosophy of Avicenna has witnessed a resurgence among scholars of medieval Islamic intellectual history. This resurgence can be traced in part to the 1988 publication of Dimitri Gutas's Avicenna and the Aristotelian Tradition in which scholars were treated to an evaluation of work on Avicenna since the millenary celebrations of the 1950s, an assessment of the then current state of research, and a detailed map-in Gutas's own study of Avicenna's intellectual inheritance and innovation - of the methodology and goals that would be necessary for further progress." â" David C. Reisman, "A New Standard for Avicenna Studies." (p. 562). PROVENANCE: David C. Lindberg (1935-2015) was an American historian of science. His main focus was on the history of medieval and early modern science, especially physical science and the relationship between religion and science. Lindberg was the Hilldale Professor Emeritus of History of Science and past director of the Institute for Research in the Humanities, at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. ISBN: 9004085009.
