A Comprehensive, Annotated, and Indexed Bibliography of the Modern Scholarship on Fakhr al-DÄ«n al-RÄzÄ« (544/1150â606/1210)
Series:
The study of Islamicate intellectual history has witnessed a rapid growth of scholarship on post-classical thinkers and especially on Fakhr al-DÄ«n al-RÄzÄ« (d. 1210 CE), one of the leading theologians and philosophers of his time. However, there is presently a lack of methodological tools and reference works in RÄzÄ« studies. This book is the first bibliographical work entirely devoted to this thinker. It surveys the modern historiography on RÄzÄ« from the nineteenth century onward and includes more than 1000 specialized entries written in European languages, Arabic, Persian, and Turkish. The bibliography also provides a preface, an introductory essay, annotations to the entries, and various indices to help students and experts navigate the complex field of RÄzÄ« studies.
Damien Janos (Ph.D. McGill University, 2009) was assistant professor at Trinity College Dublin (2016â2018) and the University of Montreal (2018â2022). He is presently conducting a Humboldt Fellowship for Experienced Researchers at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich, Germany. He has published extensively on the metaphysics and cosmology of FÄrÄbÄ« and Avicenna and more generally on the history of Arabic philosophy and science.
M. Fariduddin Attar is a PhD candidate at McGill University. His thesis discusses the reception of Avicennaâs emanation theory and cosmology by 11â12th century thinkers of the Islamic East (mashriq), especially AbÅ« al-BarakÄt al-BaghdÄdÄ« and Fakhr al-DÄ«n al-RÄzÄ«.
