About this book

Thabit ibn Qurra (826–901) was one of history’s most original thinkers and displayed expertise in the most difficult disciplines of this time: geometry, number theory, and astronomy as well as ontology, physics, and metaphysics.
Approximately a dozen of this shorter mathematical and philosophical writings are collected in this volume. Critically edited with accompanying commentary, these writings show how Thabit Ibn Qurra developed and reconceived the intellectual inheritance of ancient Greece in all areas of knowledge.

Thabit ibn Qurra est l'un des esprits les plus originaux de tous les temps. On lui doit le premier dépassement de Ptolémée en astronomie et la première critique radicale de l'ontologie aristotélicienne au nom de l'idéalisme mathématique. Au vu de son importance historique, il était urgent de publier ses œuvres encore inédites, ou non éditées de manière critique, et de les étudier de manière véritablement historique.
On trouvera, dans cet ouvrage, l'édition, la traduction et le commentaire d'une douzaine de ses opuscules mathématiques et philosophiques, éclairant différentes facettes de son génie universel.
