Hadot deals with the Neoplatonist tendency to harmonize the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle. It shows that this harmonizing tendency, born in Middle Platonism, prevailed in Neoplatonism from Porphyry and Iamblichus, where it persisted until the end of this philosophy. Hadot aims to illustrate that it is not the different schools themselves, for instance those of Athens and Alexandria, that differ from one another by the intensity of the will to harmonization, but groups of philosophers within these schools.Studies in Platonism, Neoplatonism, and the Platonic tradition ;Volume 18.Philosophy, AncientNeoplatonismPhilosophy, Ancient.Neoplatonism.186/.4Hadot Ilsetraut162268Chase MichaelMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787241103321Athenian and Alexandrian Neoplatonism and the harmonization of Aristotle and Plato3684390UNINA02763oam 2200481 450 991079857070332120240205172532.090-04-32448-810.1163/9789004324480(CKB)3710000000744231(PQKBManifestationID)16450545(PQKBWorkID)14996207(PQKB)21413910(nllekb)BRILL9789004324480(MiAaPQ)EBC4790408(EXLCZ)99371000000074423120160516d2016 uy 0engurun####uuuuatxtccrDoubt, scholarship and society in 17th century central Sudanic Africa /Dorrit van DalenLeiden ;Boston :Brill,[2016]1 online resourceIslam in africa ;v. 20Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph90-04-31190-4 Includes bibliographical references and index.Front Matter -- Introduction -- Dramatis loci -- Muḥammad al-Wālī -- The Scholar’s Habitat -- Method and Message -- Demonising Smokers -- On Writing -- Certainties in Times of Choice -- Al-adilla al-ḥisān fī bayān taḥrīm shurb al-dukhān.

An Edition of al-Wālī’s Poem -- Bibliography and References -- Index.The seventeenth century was a period of major social change in central sudanic Africa. Islam spread from royal courts to rural communities, leading to new identities, new boundaries and new tasks for experts of the religion. Addressing these issues, the Bornu scholar Muḥammad al-Wālī acquired an exceptional reputation. Dorrit van Dalen ’s study places him within his intellectual environment, and portrays him as responding to the concerns of ordinary Muslims. It shows that scholars on the geographical margins of the Muslim world participated in the debates in the centres of Muslim learning of the time, but on their own terms. Al-Wālī’s work also sheds light on a century in the Islamic history of West Africa that has until now received little attention.Islam in Africa20.Muslim scholarsSudanBiographySudanIntellectual life17th centuryMuslim scholars297.092Dalen Dorrit van1575125NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910798570703321Doubt, scholarship and society in 17th century central Sudanic Africa3851853UNINA
