Volume 1 starts with the Zoroastrian period and extends to the time of Biruni and Oma Khayyam, paying special attenton to the peripatetic school associated with Ibn Sina (Avicenna). During the pre-Islamic period philosophy was intertwined with religion, and it is within Persian religious texts such as the "Gathas", the "Denkard", and the Zoroastrian texts of the "Bundahisn" that philosophical discussions of subjects ranging from metaphysics to cosmology and eschatology are to be found."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

For anyone interested in exploring, in all their varied manifestations, the fascinating philosophical traditions of Persia, such a wide-ranging and ambitious work will be an indispensable resource. Volume 1 starts with the Zoroastrian period and extends to the time of Biruni and Oma Khayyam, paying special attenton to the peripatetic school associated with Ibn Sina (Avicenna). During the pre-Islamic period philosophy was intertwined with religion, and it is within Persian religious texts such as the "Gathas", the "Denkard", and the Zoroastrian texts of the "Bundahisn" that philosophical discussions of subjects ranging from metaphysics to cosmology and eschatology are to be found."--Bloomsbury Publishing.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Philosophy, Iranian.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Islamic & Arabic philosophy.</subfield><subfield code="2">BIC</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="z">1-84511-541-4</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Nasr, Seyyed Hossein,</subfield><subfield code="e">editor.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Razavi, Mehdi Amin,</subfield><subfield code="d">1957-</subfield><subfield code="e">editor.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="906" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">BOOK</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="ADM" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="b">2024-08-19 00:39:01 Europe/Vienna</subfield><subfield code="f">System</subfield><subfield code="c">marc21</subfield><subfield code="a">2012-02-26 03:11:16 Europe/Vienna</subfield><subfield code="g">false</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="AVE" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">DOAB Directory of Open Access Books</subfield><subfield code="P">DOAB Directory of Open Access Books</subfield><subfield code="x">https://eu02.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/view/uresolver/43ACC_OEAW/openurl?u.ignore_date_coverage=true&portfolio_pid=5357312260004498&Force_direct=true</subfield><subfield code="Z">5357312260004498</subfield><subfield code="b">Available</subfield><subfield code="8">5357312260004498</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |
