{"product_id":"9783110443646","title":"Al-Hasan ibn Musa al-Nawbakhti, Commentary on Aristotle \"De generatione et corruptione\": Edition, Translation and Commentary","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book contains a new edition and English translation of the oldest commentary on Aristotle written in Arabic and preserved to this day, together with an extensive commentary. It is a compendium on the treatise \u003ci\u003eDe generatione et corruptione\u003c\/i\u003e, written by the Imamite theologian and heresiographer Hasan b. Mūsā al-Nawbakhtī (fl. ca. 900). To this day, apart from the title of more than forty works and numerous fragments-taken mainly from his magnum opus, the Book of the Doctrines and Religions (Kitāb al-ārā’ wa-al-diyānāt)-only a single treatise of his, the Book of Shî’î Sects (Kitâb firaq al-shî’a), was known to us. The text sheds new light in several ways: firstly, on the the Arabic philosophical tradition, since it was composed during the obscure period between al-Kindī and al-Fārābī (roughly, the 2\u003csup\u003end\u003c\/sup\u003e half of the 9\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e c.); secondly, on the Greek tradition, since the author makes extensive use of Alexander’s lost commentary on De generatione; thirdly, on the formative period of shī’ism, since it helps us to reconstruct how the author borrowed from the Aristotelian tradition the tools necessary to build up a new anthropology compatible with the doctrine of the Occultation which he inaugurated at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47035151614192,"sku":"9783110443646","price":101.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783110443646_p0.jpg?v=1763718246","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783110443646","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
