Sommario/riassunto

It has been customary to see the Muslim theologian Abu Hamid al-Ghazali (d. 1111) as a vehement critic of philosophy, who rejected it in favour of Islamic mysticism (Sufism), a view which has come under increased scrutiny in recent years. This book argues that al-Ghazali was, instead, one of the greatest popularisers of philosophy in medieval Islam. The author supplies new evidence showing that al-Ghazali was indebted to philosophy in his theory of mystical cognition and his eschatology, and that, moreover, in these two areas he accepted even those philosophical teachings which he os

Sommario/riassunto

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Japanese Conference on Discrete Computational Geometry, JCDCG 2004, held in Tokyo, Japan in October 2004, to honor Janos Pach on his fiftieth year. The 20 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from over 60 talks at the conference. All current issues in discrete algorithmic geometry are addressed.
