English Translation and Commentary of al-Ġazālī’s ›Maqāṣid al-falāsifa‹

Marco Signori,

About this book

This set of books offers the first complete English translation of Ab? ??mid al-?az?l?'s The Intentions of the Philosophers [Maq??id al-fal?sifa], an encyclopaedic philosophical summa on logic, metaphysics, and physics, in fifteen treatises, heavily inspired by Avicenna's thought. The translation is accompanied by an analytical running commentary and by a comprehensive monographic study on the work.

Volume 1 presents the reader with a full English translation of, and an ample commentary on, the Maq??id al-fal?sifa. The translation is based on a new inspection of Arabic manuscripts and the collation of the Arabic text with the medieval Latin version of the work, and it corrects the available Arabic editions in several points. The running commentary, addressing philological, philosophical, and historical issues, not only grants a full comprehension of the varied contents of the work, but also contributes to the academic study of Arabic philosophy, by clarifying the role of philosophical handbook played in history by al-?az?l?'s work.
