Avicenna's Theory of Science

"An extraordinary resource for scholars working across Avicenna's vast oeuvre. It sets out in clear terms the framework within which Avicenna organises the sciences and the methods by which he establishes and assesses the knowledge-claims each discipline makes. Strobino shows time after time the crucial role logic plays in shaping Avicenna's work, dispelling forever the worry that it might be a theory without real and far-reaching impact. All who work on Avicenna's philosophy should read this book."—Tony Street, University of Cambridge
