Hardcover. Condizione: NEAR FINE. 528pp. 8vo, sewn binding. Recently bound in black buckram w/ gilt spine lettering. Exceedingly clean and sharp. In French. 'Following Islamic models the present work is divided into five 'treatises'. The first, entitled 'The acts of the Most High', deals with human activity or, as Europeans term it, the freedom of the will, with the question of what constitutes an act good or bad, and with God's predetermination or predestination of human acts. The second treatise raises a number of questions concerning prophethood and revelation. The third treatise on 'Resurrection and the future life' comprises, as one would expect, discussions of death, the period in the tomb, judgement, hell, heaven, and the vision of God. More mysterious is the fourth treatise on 'names and statutes' (as a, ahkam), for this touches on what Europeans would call problems of faith and works. Finally, again in accordance with the practice of Muslim theologians, there is a treatise on 'the imamate and 'the commanding of good'', which deals with topics which would be regarded by Europeans as belonging to polities and not theology. With such a wide scope it is not surprising that the present volume runs to some 500 pages. Under each heading M. Gardet gives the various doctrines of the main schools of thought, with some indication of the chief points at issue as the discussions continued through the centuries. This volume is thus the fullest compendium that has yet appeared of Islamic beliels within the given range of topics, and is likely to be a standard work of reference for many years to come. At the same time it is eminently rcadable. The reputation of M. Gardet as a scholar assures the painstaking accuracy of this volume and the significance of his conclusions, while the volume in turn will certainly enhance his reputation, and indeed dominate this whole field of study.'

Lalande, est la th?se principale pr?sent?e en Sorbonne, pour le doctorat ?s lettres, par un jeune ?gyptien dont un de ses maitres, M. Louis Massignon, dans la pr?face qu'il a donn?e ? la th?se compl?mentaire sur ? La place d'Al-F?r?bi dans l'?cole philosophique musulmane ?, nous dit qu' ? ? l'excellente pr?paration philologique qu'il avait re?ue au Caire, ? D?r al-'Olo?m, il a, durant de laborieuses ann?es ? Paris, ajout? une adaptation vraiment remarquable aux m?thodes de pens?e occidentales ? De fait, par son recours direct aux sources grecques et arabes, l'abondance et l'exactitude de sa documentation, son souci de situer l'?uvre des penseurs musulmans dans l'?volution g?n?rale de la logique, son art d'introduire, exposer, ?lucider questions et solutions, M. M. nous a donn? la meilleure des introductions ? cette partie de la philosophie arabe, non encore ?tudi?e s?rieusement depuis l'expos? de la logique avicennienne tent? par Prantl, au tome Il de sa ? Geschichte der Logik ? (1855-1870), d'apr?s des versions latines fragmentaires. Il a d? se r?f?rer ? des manuserits arabes encore in?dits, principalement ? la premi?re partie du grand ouvrage encyclop?dique d'Ibn Sina, le e Shifa ? (?De Sufficientia ?), consacr?e ? la logique, dont il nous traduit de larges extraits, en les confrontant avec les textes d'Aristote et de ses commentateurs p?ripat?ticiens ou n?oplatoniciens, qu'Ibn Sin? suit de pr?s, et en les rapprochant des ?crits de Galien et des Stoiciens dont Ibn Sin? subit ?galement l'influence, Car, il le reconnait dans sa conclusion (p. 269), les logiciens, non plus qu'en g?n?ral les fal?sifah de l'Isl?m, n'apportent aucune doctrine vraiment nouvelle : des explications p?n?trantes et lumineuses, des remaniements de d?tail, un syncr?tisme visant ? concilier des mat?riaux h?t?rog?nes et parfois aboutissant ? d'ing?nieuses syst?matisations (comme cette th?orie des id?es d'apr?s al-F?r?bi, Ibn Sin?, Ibn Rushd, dont, ? propos de la d?finition logique, M. M. nous fait (p. 133-155), un expos? magistral et qui est l'aboutissement de toute la sp?culation philosophique sur l'intellect et sur le cosmos depuis Platon et Aristote), ? cela se borne leur originalit?.'
