Description
"Because of the importance of Averroes (as a Muslim he is significant for both Platonic and Islamic thought), it is good to have Lerner''s new and thoughtful interpretation, with lucid introduction, three helpful appendixes, glossary, and index."—Library Journal"This is a fine translation of a very difficult and important text, lost in its Arabic original but preserved in the awkward fourteenth-century Hebrew translation of Judah ben Samuel. Even in this summary form, the Republic is one of the exceedingly few works of the Platonic corpus to surface in Islamic philosophy, and this paraphrase is an excellent example of Averroes'' technique of doing philosophy in commentary form."—Journal of Near Eastern Studies"It is interesting to note that Plato''s tenets were considered profitable also by Averroes, whose world was defined and governed by the Koran."—The Classical OutlookAn indispensable primary source in medieval political philosophy is presented here in a fully annotated translation of Averroes'' discussion of the Republic. Averroes'' book played a major role in both the transmission and the adaptation of the Platonic tradition in the West. In a closely argued critical introduction, Ralph Lerner addresses several of the most important problems raised by the work.
