Description
This translation of Ibn-al-Tayyib's work on Porphyry's Eisagoge brings to the English readers a significant book in Near Eastern logic that has been discussed and excerpted by major philosophers such as Tusi, Averroes, and Avicenna. It has also been the source of philosophical discussions on topics of logic by Boethius, Abelard, Ockham and others. Gyekye has clarified the Arabic link between Greek and Latin traditions with his translation, detailed explanations and text analysis of this 11th century philosopher's commentary on the Eisagoge, a work which is itself based on Aristotle's Categories and Metaphysics.
