Time and Temporality in the Physical World -- Conclusion -- Bibliography -- IndexThis study is the first comprehensive analysis of the physical theory of the Islamic philosopher Avicenna (d. 1037). It seeks to understand his contribution against the developments within the preceding Greek and Arabic intellectual milieus, and to appreciate his philosophy as such by emphasising his independence as a critical and systematic thinker. Exploring Avicenna's method of "teaching and learning," it investigates the implications of his account of the natural body as a three-dimensionally extended composite of matter and form, and examines his views on nature as a principle of motion and his analysis of its relation to soul. Moreover, it demonstrates how Avicenna defends the Aristotelian conception of place against the strident criticism of his predecessors, among other things, by disproving the existence of void and space. Finally, it sheds new light on Avicenna's account of the essence and the existence of time. For the first time taking into account the entire range of Avicenna's major writings, this study fills a gap in our understanding both of the history of natural philosophy in general and of the philosophy of Avicenna in particular.Islamic philosophyElectronic books.Islamic philosophy.181.5Lammer Andreas1034923MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910467847003321The elements of Avicenna's physics2454331UNINA01046nam0 22002891i 450 UON0024687020231205103615.23788-359-5316-220031209d2003 |0itac50 baitaIT|||| |||||Atlante geopoliticoil giro del mondo in 20 crisi internazionaliAlfonso Desiderio1 edRomaEditori Riuniti2003157 p.c. geogr.22 cmPolitica internazionaleUONC024159FIITRomaUONL000004327.1POLITICA INTERNAZIONALE21DESIDERIOAlfonsoUONV149484283101Editori RiunitiUONV246707650ITSOL20250725RICASIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSIUON00246870SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI V 179 SI AA 26525 5 179 Atlante geopolitico147599UNIOR
