Avicenna And The Aristotelian Tradition by Dimitri Gutas
Introduction to Reading Avicenna's Philosophical Works
A scholarly guide to the formation and interpretation of Avicenna’s philosophical system, it situates his writings within the Graeco-Arabic transmission of Aristotelianism and the late antique commentary tradition, showing how he reshaped that legacy into an original synthesis. It surveys the chronology, genres, and structure of his corpus, clarifies key doctrines in logic, metaphysics, and psychology, and offers methodological tools for reading and dating the texts. The volume also includes an edition and English translation of his notes on Aristotle’s De Interpretatione.
