| Summary, Etc. |
"This work engages in a constructive, yet subtle, dialogue with the nuanced accounts of sensory intentionality and empirical knowledge offered by the Islamic philosopher, Avicenna. This discourse has two main objectives: 1) providing an interpretation of Avicenna's epistemology that avoids reading him as a precursor to British empiricists or as a full-fledged emanatist; 2) bringing light to the importance of Avicenna's account of experience to relevant contemporary Anglo-American discussions in epistemology and metaphysics. These two objectives are interconnected in aspects of contemporary metaphysics. Epistemology provides the framework for a novel reading of Avicenna on knowledge and reality, and the latter, in turn, contributes to adjusting some other aspects of the former. Advancing the Avicennian perspective on contemporary analytic discourse, this volume is a key resource for researchers and students interested in comparative and analytic epistemology and metaphysics, and Islamic philosophy"-- Provided by publisher. |
