Beskrivning
The first book in the Great Medieval Thinkers series to focus on an Islamic philosopher. It offers a brief, accessible introduction to the thought of the philosopher al -Kindi (died roughly 870 AD). His works, though brief, are of great historical importance. Al-Kindi was the first philosopher of the Islamic world. Peter Adamson will survey what is known of al-Kindi's life, examine his thought on a wide range of topics, and consider the relationship of al-Kindi's work to his Greek sources.

highly readable account...Of course, it would be foolish to suggest the Adamson's aim in writing this excellent book is a desire to discern the significance of al-Kindi for the present Muslim world...it is difficult to read and interpret anything of the rich intellectual heritage of the Muslim world without an uneasy present-mindedness. I do hope that Adamson's book will reach a wider audience than specialists in mediaeval and Islamic philosophy precisely for this reason.
