Description

Alexander of Aphrodisias on the Cosmos. By CHARLES GENEQUAND. Islamic Philosophy, Theology and Science, Texts and Studies, 44. Leiden: BRILL, 2001. Pp. 187. $54. Charles Genequand's Alexander of Aphrodisias on the Cosmos offers a welcome addition to our understanding of later Greek thought and specifically the thought of Alexander. It provides an introduction to, critical edition and overall a very competent translation, of Alexander's Maqalat al-Iskandar al-Afrudisi fi l-qawl fi al-Kull bi-hasab Aristatalis al-faylasuf (Treatise of Alexander of Aphrodisias on the Doctrine Concerning the Principles of the Cosmos in Accordance with the Opinion of Aristotle the Philosopher"). Genequand's work without doubt will be beneficial to the specialist in Hellenistic philosophy and science, as well as the Graeco-Arabist interested in the subsequent influence of classical thought on Arabic philosophy. More generally it will also be of interest to those concerned with the history of philosophy and science and the shaping of our intellectual heritage.
