Abū'l-Barakāt al-Baghdādī's Scientific Philosophy: The Kitāb al-Mu'tabar

By Moshe Pavlov

Abū'l-Barakāt is often considered one of the most comprehensive medieval philosophers of the Arabic-Jewish milieu. His extensive and unique philosophical theories were seen as a major challenge for the traditional conceptions of the Aristotelian school of thought during and after this period.

'

Abū'l-Barakāt al-Baghdādī's Scientific Philosophy' explores the core material of Abū'l-Barakāt's scientific studies, found in the Kitāb. The book then locates these scientific theories within Abū'l-Barakāt's philosophy more widely. Whilst providing a comprehensive critique of ancient philosophy, certain affinities between Abū'l-Barakāt's work and more modern scientific conceptions are also examined.
