Abu'l-Barakat al-Baghdadi's Metaphysical Philosophy (eBook, ePUB)

The Kitab al-Mu'tabar

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Abu'l-Barakat is a philosopher who wrote the Kitab al-Mu'tabar, a comprehensive metaphysics which challenged the accepted notions of the traditional metaphysical philosophy. This book examines the philosophical conceptions of the first book of the Metaphysics of the Kitab al-Mu'tabar. It presents a developed conception of Abu'l-Barakat's systematic metaphysics. This is done by following the order of topics discussed while translating the relevant passages. These different topics comprise stages of cognition that move from an analysis of time, creation and causality to the conception of a higher spiritual realm of mental entities and a conception of God as the First Knower and Teacher.
