The Unity of Science in the Arabic Tradition: Science, Logic, Epistemology and their Interactions (Logic, Epistemology, and the Unity of Science)
Book Description:
"This is an impressive contribution both to the history of science and to the history of philosophy... Even for those who are not working in the history of science or philosophy the book is immensely appealing. Just to give an example, I was struck by the link between lemmata and middle terms . I will start by studying the chapter on Self-awareness and knowing that one knows and move next to Avicenna’s naturalized epistemology. The whole book is relevant to contemporary philosophical issues. The account of the notion of "tropos" is a case in point." Paul Gochet, Pôle de Logique, Université de Liege, Belgium "...félicitations pour ce superbe volume sur la science arabe. J’ai juste survolé le papier sur l’évolution de l’algèbre, je le relirai plus à loisir, c’est très intéressant, très précis et en même temps maîtrisé et riche de conséquences historiques et conceptuelles. Bravo. Merci de tout ce travail." François de Gandt, Philosophie des Mathématiques, Université de Lille 3
