Reviews
This is an impressive contribution both to the history of science and to the history of philosophy... Even for those who are not working in the history of science or philosophy the book is immensely appealing. Just to give an example, I was struck by the link between lemmata and middle terms . I will start by studying the chapter on Self-awareness and knowing that one knows and move next to Avicenna's naturalized epistemology. The whole book is relevant to contemporary philosophical issues. The account of the notion of tropos is a case in point. Paul Gochet, PAle de Logique, UniversitA(c) de Liege, Belgium .,. fA(c)licitations pour ce superbe volume sur la science arabe. J'ai juste survolA(c) le papier sur l'A(c)volution de l'algA]bre, je le relirai plus A loisir, c'est trA]s intA(c)ressant, trA]s prA(c)cis et en mAame temps maA(R)trisA(c) et riche de consA(c)quences historiques et conceptuelles. Bravo. Merci de tout ce travail. FranAois de Gandt, Philosophie des MathA(c)matiques, UniversitA(c) de Lille 3
