Abstract

First published in 1986, The Economics of Alfred Marshall is concerned with the theories of demand, supply, market structure and income distribution which the celebrated author of the Principles of Economics developed while standing on the shoulders of giants. It is thus concerned with hidden assumptions, institutional constraints, tentative conclusions and blurred distinctions; for these are an integral part of the contribution of an economist who warned against spurious over-simplification of that which is inherently complex.

Abstract

Islamic intellectual thought is at the center of this collection of articles honoring Dimitri Gutas by friends, colleagues, and former students. The essays cover three main areas: the classical heritage and Islamic culture; classical Arabic science and philosophy; and Muslim traditional sciences. They show the interconnectedness between the Islamic intellectual tradition and its historical predecessors of Greek and Persian provenance, ranging from poetry to science and philosophy. Yet, at the same time, the authors demonstrate the independence of Muslim scholarship and the rich inner-Muslim debates that brought forth a flourishing scholastic culture in the sciences, philosophy, literature, and religious sciences. This collection also reflects the breadth of contemporary research on the intellectual traditions of Islamic civilization. Contributors include: Amos Bertolacci, Kevin van Bladel, Gideon Bohak, Sonja Brentjes, Charles Burnett, Hans Daiber, Gerhard Endress, William Fortenbaugh, Beatrice Gruendler, Jules Janssens, David King, Yahya Michot, Suleiman Mourad, Racha Omari, Felicitas Opwis, David Reisman, Heinrich von Staden, Tony Street, Hidemi Takahashi, Alexander Treiger, and Robert Wisnovsky.

Abstract

Thabit ibn Qurra (826-901) war einer der originellsten Köpfe aller Zeiten. Als Mann von umfassender Bildung, der Arabisch, Griechisch und Syrisch sprach und seit dem Mittelalter selbst ins Lateinische übersetzt wurde, war er ein vollendeter Repräsentant des Goldenen Zeitalters der Abassiden. Ihm verdanken sich neue Kapitel in der Geschichte der Mathematik, der erste Fortschritt in der Astronomie über Ptolemaios hinaus und die erste radikale Kritik an der aristotelischen Ontologie im Namen des mathematischen Idealismus. Angesichts seiner historischen Bedeutung ist es das Ziel des vorliegenden Bandes, seine bisher nicht bzw. nicht kritisch edierten Werke zu veröffentlichen und historisch-kritisch zu untersuchen. Rund ein Dutzend seiner kleinen mathematischen und philosophischen Schriften werden hier ediert, übersetzt und kommentiert. Die Beiträge von Hélène Bellosta, Amos Bertolacci, Pascal Crozet, Christian Houzel, Eberhard Knobloch, Régis Morelon, Marwan Rashed, Roshdi Rashed und David C. Reisman verdeutlichen, wie Thabit Ibn Qurra in allen Wissensgebieten das wissenschaftliche Erbe der Griechen weiter entwickelt bzw. neu formuliert hat.Der Band gehört in jede Bibliothek der Islamwissenschaft, Klassischen Philologie, Wissenschafts- und Philosophiegeschichte.
