Antisthenes (c. 445-c. 365 BC), was a prominent follower of Socrates and bitter rival of Plato. In this revisionary account of his philosophy in all its aspects, P. A. Meijer claims that Plato and Aristotle have corrupted our perspective on this witty and ingenious thinker. The first part of the book reexamines afresh Antisthenes' ideas about definition and predication and concludes from these that Antisthenes never held the (in)famous theory that contradiction is impossible. The second part of the book argues that Antisthenes' logical theories bear directly on his activities as an exegete of Homer and hence as a theological thinker. Part three, finally, offers innovative readings of Antisthenes' ethical fragments.

Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht den Gebrauch zentraler philosophischer Begriffe in den christologischen Schriften Yaḥyā b. ʿAdīs, nämlich „das Eine“, „Substanz“, „Körper“, „Seele“ und „Intellekt“, im Kontext von Yaḥyās Gesamtwerk und seiner Quellen. Die Analyse verortet Yaḥyās philosophisches und theologisches Denken an der Schnittstelle mehrerer griechischer, syrischer und arabischer intellektueller Traditionen. Mit ihrem Fokus auf Yaḥyās Schriften über die Inkarnation ergänzt diese Studie vorhandene Forschung, die sich vor allem auf seine Werke über die Trinität konzentriert hat, und trägt zu einem vollständigeren Bild von Yaḥyās philosophischer Theologie bei. This study examines the usage of central philosophical terms in Yaḥyā b. ʿAdī’s Christological writings, specifically “the one”, “substance”, “body”, “soul”, and “intellect”, in the context of Yaḥyā’s entire body of work and of his sources. The analysis situates Yaḥyā’s philosophical and theological thinking at the crossroads of multiple Greek, Syriac, and Arabic intellectual traditions. With its focus on Yaḥyā’s writings about the Incanation, it supplements existing research, which has largely focused on his writings about the Trinity, and contributes to a more complete picture of Yaḥyā’s philosophical theology.

In the study of Lawāmiʿ al-Naẓar, Ibrahim Safri presents a history of rational sciences in the Maghribī tradition in the seventeenth and eighteenth century. He also presents a critical edition of the work, which can be considered as an introduction to post-Avicennian studies in North Africa. Lawāmiʿ al-Naẓar fī Taḥqīq Maʿānī al-Mukhtaṣar is Aḥmad b. Yaʿqūb al-Wallālī's (d. 1128/1716) commentary on al-Sanūsī's (d. 895/1490) compendium of logic, al-Mukhtaṣar . Al-Wallālī was the first commentator on al-Sanūsī's compendium after the author's autocommentary. In this publication, Ibrahim Safri offers a critical edition of this work, together with a study of the author's life and oeuvre. Safri also tries to show the indirect influence of Avicennism on logic in the Maghribī tradition in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. On the basis of his writings on logic and philosophical theology, al-Wallālī was considered a master of rational sciences by his contemporaries.

Depuis quelque temps en Italie la recherche philosophique témoigne d'une attention croissante à l'égard des questions théologiques. Cet intérêt n'est pas seulement le fait des philosophes d'inspiration chrétienne (comme Pareyson ou Vattimo), mais aussi des non-croyants. Ce livre propose une analyse critique des réflexions qui nourrissent le débat actuel entre la philosophie et la théologie. Qu'il soit question de Dieu, de l'expérience religieuse, ou de l'essence du christianisme, cette étude veut introduire au coeur d'un dialogue intense et nécessaire qui constitue une partir importante de la philosophie italienne contemporaine
