The Arabic Influence on the Classification of Philosophy in the Latin West: The Case of the Introductions to Philosophy (2020)

unapi

This article analyzes the influence of the Arabic divisions of the sciences on the so-called «Introductions to Philosophy» – a literary genre from the middle of the thirteenth century in which the masters of the young faculty of Arts in Paris present their programmatic definitions of philosophy and its distinctive parts. As is shown, these texts were strongly dependent on the Farabian division of philosophy as it was transmitted through the translations and works of Dominicus Gundissalinus. Thus, al-Fa¯ra¯bı¯ and Gundissalinus clearly framed the masters’ reading of the Aristotelian corpus, particularly the books on logic and natural philosophy, while they also provided fundamental epistemological categories that allowed for both horizontal and vertical subdivisions of philosophy and the disciplines it comprises.
