Aristotle and Aristotelianism in Medieval Muslim, Jewish, and Christian Philosop

Product Description Aristotle and Aristotelianism in Medieval Muslim, Jewish, and Christian Philosophy attempts, through its interpretation of Aristotle by Muslim as well as Jewish and Christian thinkers, to explain the reasons for the revival of Aristotelian thought in the West. Kassim discusses Aristotle's main philosophical concepts and analyzes these concepts by gradually exploring Aristotelian thought in its interactions with the Medieval Muslim, Jewish, and Christian speculative systems of thought. He shows from the writings of individual thinkers in these three different traditions how, and in what form, the continuity of Aristotelian thought is sustained in medieval philosophy. Among the scholars that Kassim studies in this work are such great thinkers as Avicenna, Plotinus, Proclus, Maimonides, and Thomas Aquinas. This book will be of great interest to classical, metaphysical and epistemological philosophers, as well as religious scholars. About the Author Husain Kassim is Associate Professor of Philosophy and Religion at the University of Central Florida.
