Al-Kindi was the first philosopher of the Islamic world. He was a central figure in the translation movement of 9th-century Baghdad, which rendered much of Greek philosophy, science, and medicine into Arabic. His works are of great intrinsic philosophical interest, since al-Kindi, in engaging with the Greek tradition, developed original theories on key questions of philosophy of religion, metaphysics, physical science, and ethics. In this accessible introduction, Peter Adamson surveys what is known of al-Kindi's life, examines his thought on a wide range of topics, and considers the relationship of al-Kindi's work to his Greek sources. This book is a valuable resource for scholars and provides the non-specialist with a much-needed overview of a prominent Arabic philosopher.
