  • Optics, Basra, Cairo, Spectacles
    International Journal of Optics and Applications 2014, 4(4): 110-113 DOI: 10.5923/j.optics.20140404.02 Alhazen, the Founder of Physiological Optics and Spectacles Nāsir pūyān (Nasser Pouyan) Tehran, 16616-18893, Iran Abstract Alhazen (c. 965 – c. 1039), Arabian mathematician and physicist with an unknown actual life who laid the foundation of physiological optics and came within an ace of discovery of the use of eyeglasses. He wrote extensively on algebra, geometry, and astronomy. Just the Beginnings of the 13th century, in Europe eyeglasses were used as an aid to vision, but Alhazen’s book “Kitab al – Manazir” (Book of Optics) included theories on refraction, reflection and the study of lenses and gave the first account of vision. It had great influence during the Middle Ages. In it, he explained that twilight was the result of the refraction of the sun’s rays in the earth’s atmosphere. The first Latin translation of Alhazen’s mathematical works was written in 1210 by a clergyman from Sussex, in England, Robert Grosseteste (1175 – 1253). His treatise on astrology was printed in Latin at Basle in 1572. Alhazen who was from Basra died in Cairo at the age of 73 (c. 1039). Keywords Optics, Basra, Cairo, Spectacles Ibn al-Haytham (c. 965 – c. 1038), known in the West who had pretended insane, once more was released from the Alhazen, and Avenna than1, who is considered as the father prison and received his belongings, and never applied for any of modern optics. He was from Basra [1] (in Iraq) and position. received his education in this city and Baghdad, but nothing is known about his actual life and teachers.

  • Alhacen's Theory of Visual Perception: a Critical Edition, With
    Alhacen’s Theory of Visual Perception: A Critical Edition, with Eng- lish Translation and Commentary, of the First Three Books of Alha- cen’s De Aspectibus, the Medieval Latin Version of Ibn al-Haytham’s Kit¯abal-Man¯az.ir by A. Mark Smith Transactions of the American Philosophical Society 91.4–5. Philadel- phia: American Philosophical Society, 2001. Pp. clxxxi+819. ISBN 0– 87169–914–1. Paper $32.00 Reviewed by Glen M. Cooper Brigham Young University [email protected] Before launching into a review of this fine edition, a brief discussion of the name ‘Alhacen’ is in order. Most scholars are used to seeing the Latin form of the name of the Arab scientist, Ab¯u cAl¯ıal-Has.an ibn al-Has.an ibn al-Haytham, or Ibn al-Haytham, as ‘Alhazen’. But, as Professor Smith argues, Alhacen is an attested form in the Latin, and is closer to al-Has.an, one of his names (as long as the ‘c’ is given a ‘soft’ ‘s’ sound). In fact, according to Smith, the form ‘Alhazen’ does not appear later, and seems to originate with Risner [1572] in his edition of the Optica. Though as an Arabist I would prefer to refer to Alhacen as Ibn al-Haytham, for the sake of consistency and in harmony with Smith’s edition, I shall refer to him as Alhacen throughout. Professor Smith has been active in the field of the history of optics since at least the 1980s. He has published several excellent articles and editions and is certainly well-qualified to produce the present edition.

  • An Analysis of the Contributions of the Medieval Muslim Scholars to Medical Science
    Manarat International University Studies, 5(1), 2015 ISLAM AND MODERN SCIENCE: AN ANALYSIS OF THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE MEDIEVAL MUSLIM SCHOLARS TO MEDICAL SCIENCE Dr. Muhammad Obaidullah ABSTRACT The primary objective of this paper is to depict the real-time contributions made by the Muslim scientists and researchers in the area of medical science during the medieval period. Many inscribed write-ups, books and Encyclopedias have been written and published on the various areas of medical science by the eminent Muslim scholars during the medieval period. It is acknowledged by the prominent scientists, historians and philosophers that the contributions of Muslim researchers prevalently shaped the science and philosophy into the form that we see it today. However, there is a tendency in the western society to ignore the contribution of Muslim scientists in the historical development of medical science. Western writers have given little prominence to Islamic Scientific and intellectual contributions to this field. But the fact is that the Muslims carried the torch of science in an age when no other civilization was capable of doing so. The current study would also shed light on the underlying reasons as to why Muslims today are not able to contribute to the development of sciences including the medical science like their golden age. This will conclude by furnishing some suggestions to improve the current devastating state of Muslims in the development of sciences. The methodologies applied in this study are descriptive and analytic. Keywords: Science, Medical Science, Scientist, West, Islam & Muslim, 1. INTRODUCTION From the very beginning Islam encouraged the pursuit of science and favored progress.

    OCTOBER 2016 Physical Disengagement and Ideological Reorientation Among Militants in Kashmir: An Exploratory Study NIKHIL RAYMOND PURI Physical Disengagement and Ideological Reorientation Among Militants in Kashmir: An Exploratory Study NIKHIL RAYMOND PURI ABOUT THE AUTHOR Nikhil Raymond Puri is a Visiting Fellow at Observer Research Foundation, New Delhi. An independent researcher and risk analyst, Nikhil's research interests include religious education and state-led madrasa reform efforts, and militant radicalisation and disengagement in South Asia. He has conducted extensive fieldwork across India and Bangladesh. He consults in the area of operational and political risk management, and publishes widely on security-related developments in South Asia. He holds a BA in South Asian Studies from the University of Virginia and obtained his MPhil and PhD degrees in Politics from the University of Oxford. © 2016 Observer Research Foundation. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means without permission in writing from ORF. Physical Disengagement and Ideological Reorientation Among Militants in Kashmir: An Exploratory Study ABSTRACT This qualitative study employs semi-structured interviews to explore the phenomenon of militant disengagement as experienced by six former militants in Jammu and Kashmir. The paper seeks to understand how and why individuals who enthusiastically joined the militant campaign against the Indian state beginning in the late 1980s subsequently moved away – physically – from armed violence. The study also aims to shed light on the nature and extent of ideological evolution experienced by the same individuals before and/or after their physical departures from militancy. The paper attends closely to the interplay between these physical and ideological aspects of disengagement, asking – in the case of each interviewee – how one relates to the other.

    Lecture: Islamic optics and Italian Renaissance representation: Naturalism and Human Nature 1. Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen) and his importance a. Alhazen was the greatest and most influential contributor to Western Europe science of optics.ed1 b. Ibn al-Haytham used experimental evidence to develop a remarkably accurate theory of vision.2 He introduced the scientific method. 2. Kitab al-Manazir or Book of Optics a. Alhazen’s Kitab al-Manazir or the Book of Optics, was published sometime between 1028 [418 A.H.] and 1018 [429 A.H.] and was incorporated throughout the core of post-medieval Western culture.3 b. It was introduced to the West about 1200 and became the prime source for thirteenth century optical investigators.7345 c. The book initiated a chain of development of the modern understanding of optics as well as understandings of two dimensional pictorial representations of three dimensional space.6 d. The translation of the Book of Optics was absorbed by medieval optical scientists, Roger Bacon, Erazmus Witelo, and John Pecham, whose subsequent work had enormous influence on the progression of optical understandings throughout the centuries that immediately followed.7 e. Ghiberti contributed to Alberti’s discussion about a decade later and relied heavily optical theories of Pecham and Witelo, which relied heavily on Alhazen.8 f. The Book of Optic and the Italian Renaissance i. It was translated into Italian in the fourteenth century and a version was extracted and copied by Ghiberti in his Commentari. 73910 ii. There is a parallelism between Alberti and Alhazen in that both understood spatial perceptions as both optical as well as cognitive.

  • Science in the Medieval Islamic World Was the Science Developed And
    Science in the medieval Islamic world was the science developed and practised during the Islamic Golden Age under the Umayyads of Córdoba, the Abbadids of Seville, the Samanids, the Ziyarids, the Buyids in Persia, the Abbasid Caliphate and beyond, spanning the period roughly between 786 and 1258. Islamic scientific achievements encompassed a wide range of subject areas, especially astronomy, mathematics, and medicine. Medieval Islamic science had practical purposes as well as the goal of understanding. For example, astronomy was useful for determining the Qibla, the direction in which to pray, botany had practical application in agriculture, as in the works of Ibn Bassal and Ibn al-'Awwam, and geography enabled Abu Zayd al- Balkhi to make accurate maps. Islamic mathematicians such as Al- Khwarizmi, Avicenna and Jamshīd al-Kāshī made advances in algebra, trigonometry, geometry and Arabic numerals. Islamic doctors described diseases like smallpox and measles, and challenged classical Greek medical theory. Al-Biruni, Avicenna and others described the preparation of hundreds of drugs made from medicinal plants and chemical compounds. Islamic physicists such as Ibn Al-Haytham, Al-Bīrūnī and others studied optics and mechanics as well as astronomy, criticised Aristotle's view of motion. The significance of medieval Islamic science has been debated by historians. The traditionalist view holds that it lacked innovation, and was mainly important for handing on ancient knowledge to medieval Europe. The revisionist view holds that it constituted a scientific revolution. Whatever the case, science flourished across a wide area around the Mediterranean and further afield, for several centuries, in a wide range of institutions.
