Reviews

’For readers who do not already know the work of Janssens, this book is a good start.’ Journal of Islamic Studies ’The primary strength of the volume is Janssen's erudition and the way in which he explores key concepts in Ibn Sina's thought in their historical contexts. ... In conclusion, the volume recommends itself to medievalists who are interested in Islamic thought and it rightly draws attention to the importance of Ibn Sina for western thought.’ Bulletin of International Medieval Research
