The Arabic Plotinus

A Philosophical Study of the Theology of Aristotle

A study of the ninth-century Arabic paraphrase of parts of the Enneads that circulated under Aristotle's name. Adamson shows how the adaptors in al-Kindi's circle reshaped Plotinus's ideas about the One, causation and the soul.
