It explains his theory of knowledge in which intentionality acts as an interaction between the mind and the world. This, in turn, led Ibn S?n? to distinguish an operation of intentionality specific to the generation of numbers. The author argues that Ibn S?n??s transformation of philosophy is one of the major stages in the de-hellinisation movement of the Greek heritage that was set off by the advent of the Arabic-Islamic civilisation. Readers first learn about Ibn S?n??s unprecedented investigation into the concept of the number and his criticism of such Greek thought as Plato?s realism, Pythagoreans? empiricism, and Ari stotle?s conception of existence. Next, coverage sets out the basics of Ibn S?n??s theory of knowledge needed for the construction of numbers. It describes how intentionality turns out to be key in showing the ontological dependence of numbers as well as even more critical to their construction. In describing the various mental operations that make mathematical objects intentional entities, Ibn S?n? developed powerful arguments and subtle analyses to show us the extent our mental life depends on intentionality. This monograph thoroughly explores the epistemic dimension of this concept, which, the author believes, can also explain the actual genesis and evolution of mathematics by the human mind. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Philosophy,$x2211-4548 606 $aMedieval philosophy 606 $aMathematical logic 606 $aEpistemology 606 $aMedieval Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E17000 606 $aMathematical Logic and Foundations$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M24005 606 $aEpistemology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E13000 615 0$aMedieval philosophy. 615 0$aMathematical logic. 615 0$aEpistemology. 615 14$aMedieval Philosophy. 615 24$aMathematical Logic and Foundations. 615 24$aEpistemology. 676 $a181.5 700 $aTahiri$b Hassan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058585 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255347103321 996 $aMathematics and the Mind$92500697 997 $aUNINA
