It discusses key cosmological and metaphysical concepts articulated in his works, with a special focus on celestial causation, intellection, and motion. This book also examines al-Fārābī’s cosmological method and particularly the connection between astronomy, physics, and metaphysics. The result is a reassessment of al-Fārābī’s cosmology vis-à-vis late-antique Greek philosophical trends and a clearer understanding of how it creatively adapted and transformed this legacy to establish a new cosmological paradigm in Arabic thought.Islamic philosophy, theology, and science ;v. 85.Islamic cosmologyIslamic cosmology.181/.6Janos Damien1618010MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812811003321Method, structure, and development in al-Fārābi's cosmology3949476UNINA
