This is an important text by one of the leading writers on Islamic philosophy, and this is the first English translation of high quality. It will certainly be heavily used by those in the discipline., This work continues the earlier volumes by Shams Inati of translation into English of Ibn Sina's al-Isharat wal-Tanbihat , the last philosophical masterpiece of the shaykh of Muslim peripatetic philosophers. In providing a clear and accessible translation of difficult text with very useful annotations, Dr. Inati has made a major contribution to Avicenna's studies and has put students of Islamic as well as Western medieval philosophy in her debt., In the West Ibn Sina's (known as Avicenna) most famous work is the Shif'' ( Cure or Healing ) that alone was translated into Latin and of which the Physics and Metaphysics were translated into English by Jon McGinnis and Michael E. Marmura respectively. Finally, thanks to Dr. Shams Inati, we have an English translation of the Physics and Metaphysics of Ibn Sina's most famous work in the East, the Ish'r't or Admonitions and Remarks . The Ish'r't offers Ibn Sina's more mature thinking and so access to it in English is invaluable. Now East and West can truly meet to discuss one of the greatest philosophers., Ibn Sina (the Avicenna of Latin fame) is without doubt among the most important and influential Muslim philosophers of all time. He presented his unique intellectual system with its mix of Greek science and Islamic theology in no less than three encyclopedias, of which Remarks and Admonitions is the shortest and most enigmatic. With Ibn Sina's Remarks and Admonitions: Physics and Metaphysics, Professor Inati has provided us with a helpful tool with which future scholars can dig deeper into the nuanced philosophical system of Ibn Sina and mine the virtually untapped riches of post-classical Islamic philosophy., This work continues Inati's earlier volumes of analysis and translation into English of Ibn Sina's al-Isharat wal-Tanbihat , the last philosophical masterpiece of the shaykh of Muslim peripatetic philosophers.

Now East and West can truly meet to discuss one of the greatest philosophers., Inati's masterful translation has produced a remarkable work that is useful both for students and scholars.

Synopsis
Al-Isharat wal-Tanbihat ( Remarks and Admonitions ) is one of the most mature and comprehensive philosophical works by Ibn Sina (Avicenna, 980-1037). Grounded in an exploration of logic (which Ibn Sina described as the gate to knowledge) and happiness (the ultimate human goal), the text illuminates the divine, the human being, and the nature of things through a wide-ranging discussion of topics. The sections of Physics and Metaphysics deal with the nature of bodies and souls as well as existence, creation, and knowledge. Especially important are Ibn Sina's views of God's knowledge of particulars, which generated much controversy in medieval Islamic and Christian philosophical and theological circles and provoked a strong rejection by eleventh-century philosopher al-Ghazali. This book provides the first annotated English translation of Physics and Metaphysics and edits the original Arabic text on which the translation is based. It begins with a detailed analysis of the text, followed by a translation of the three classes or groups of ideas in the Physics (On the Substance of Bodies, On the Directions and Their Primary and Secondary Bodies, and On the Terrestrial and Celestial Souls) and the four in the Metaphysics (On Existence and Its Causes, Creation Ex Nihilo and Immediate Creation, On Ends, on Their Principles, and on the Arrangement [of Existence], and On Abstraction. The Metaphysics closes with a significant discussion of the concepts of providence, good, and evil, which Ibn Sina uses to introduce a theodicy. Researchers, faculty, and students in philosophy, theology, religion, and intellectual history will find in this work a useful and necessary source for understanding Ibn Sina's philosophical thought and, more generally, the medieval Islamic and Christian study of nature, the world beyond, psychology, God, and the concept of evil., Al-Isharat wal-Tanbihat ( Remarks and Admonitions ) is one of the most mature and comprehensive philosophical works by Ibn Sina (Avicenna, 980-1037).
