Description
The present volume offers a complete critical Arabic edition of Ibn Ṭumlūs' opus on logic, entitled Compendium on Logic (al-Mukhtaṣar fī al-manṭiq). The text covers all the parts of “the expanded Organon”, as it was known from the time of al-Fārābī to that of Ibn Rushd. With an English and Arabic introduction, notes and indices.
"This edition of Ibn Ṭumlūs’s Compendium on Logic is a significant contribution to several different fields within Islamic studies, including the development of Arabic logic, the history of post-classical Islamic thought, as well as the heritage of Ibn Rushd, in addition to being an essential text for further information about Ibn Ṭumlūs and his thought." Naser Dumairieh, University of Montreal, in: Islamic Studies 59 (2020): 397–406 "Ben Ahmed’s excellent critical edition and study of Ibn Tumlus ‘short’ compendium of logic (at an impressive 500–odd pages…) is long awaited. […] The publication of this important work is therefore a tremendous achievement in filling in important gaps in the story of Ibn Rushd's legacy and an opportunity, at last, to study the work of one of Andalusia's greatest and most unique philosophical minds." Karim Gabor Kocsenda, in The Muslim World Book Review 42/1 (2021)
