Despite my slow progress, they have supported my efforts and believed in my capacities to carry out this comparative study. I hope that, despite its defects, it will prove worthy of their trust. I would like to thank Louella Vaughan for providing an interesting eighteenth-century perspective on English medical education, sharing her ideas on my subject and removing some of my misconceptions. Similarly, I thank Christelle Rabier for her support and for our discussions regarding her forthcoming thesis on surgery in England and France. My thanks naturally go to the staff of the various establishments in which my research has taken me, and particularly to the librarians at the Wellcome Library for the History and Understanding of Medicine in London, the librarians in the History of Science Room at the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris, and to Bernadette Molitor and Henry Ferreira-Lopes at the Bibliothèque Inter-Universitaire de Médecine in Paris. I am grateful to Patricia Gillet from the Association d’entraide des Anciens élèves de l’École des Chartes for the financial support that the Association has given me and to Wes Cordeau at Texas Supreme Mortgage, Inc. for the scholarship that his company awarded me.

  • Muslim Intellectuals and the Perennial Philosophy in the Twentieth Century1

    Muslim Intellectuals and the Perennial Philosophy in the Twentieth Century1

    Sophia Perennis Vol. 1, Number 1, 2009 Iranian Institute of Philosophy Tehran/Iran Muslim Intellectuals and the Perennial Philosophy in the Twentieth Century1 Zachary Markwith Abstract: This paper will examine how Muslim intellectuals, as a result of their attachment to the doctrine of Divine Unity (tawh¤īd), the Quran, Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad, and the doctrines and methods of Sufism, were largely responsible for the restating of the perennial philosophy in the West in the twentieth century. The article consists of four sections: an introduction to the term 'philosophia perennis'; the place of the perennial philosophy in the Qur'an and Sunnah; the perennial philosophy and the Islamic intellectual Tradition; the lives, writings, and intellectual contributions of the five most important Muslim perennialists of the twentieth century, namely, Guénon, Schuon, Burckhardt, Lings, and Nasr The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the inextricable link between Islam and the perennial philosophy in the twentieth century, while defending the role that orthodoxy and orthopraxy play in any authentic expression of the perennial philosophy. Key terms: Perennial Philosophy, Rene Guenon, Frithjof Schuon, Titus Burkhardt, Martin Lings, Seyyed Hossein Nasr Number 1, Winter 2009 39 Muslim Intellectuals and the Perennial Philosophy There is an attempt from certain quarters to marginalize the relationship between Islam and the perennial philosophy, and specifically what Frithjof Schuon called, “the transcendent unity of religions.” On the one hand, some interpreters of Schuon and the perennial philosophy have denied, in the name of pure esoterism, the necessary religious forms and discipline which allow man to transcend himself, and have an authentic vision of Reality.

It was purchased in February 1993 from a bookseller who had received it in a wooden trunk bearing the name 'Cooper'. Some of the items are inscribed 'F.T.

  • A Critical Examination of Ibn-Sina's Theory of the Conditional Syllogism

    A Critical Examination of Ibn-Sina's Theory of the Conditional Syllogism

    Sophia Perennis Vol. 1, Number 1, 2009 Iranian Institute of Philosophy Tehran/Iran A Critical Examination of Ibn-Sina’s Theory of the Conditional Syllogism Zia Movahed Professor at Iranian Institute of Philosophy Abstract: This paper will examine Ibn Sina’s theory of the Conditional Syllogism from a purely logical point of view, and will lay bare the principles he adopted for founding his theory, and the reason why the newly introduced part of his logic remained undeveloped and eventually was removed from the texts of logic in the later Islamic tradition. As a preliminary discussion, this paper briefly examines Ibn Sina's methodology and gives a short summary of the relevant principles of Aristotelian logic, before delving into the analysis of Ibn Sina's treatment of the conditional, which is the heart of the paper. This analysis explains Ibn Sina's theory of conditionals in systematic stages, explaining his motivation at each step and showing the weaknesses in his argument using the tools of modern symbolic logic. The paper concludes by mentioning a few of Ibn Sina's remarkable insights regarding conditionals. Key terms: Conditional Syllogism, Ibn Sina, Aristotelian Logic. Introduction After the publication of Ibn-Sina’s al-Shifa: al-Qiyas, edited by S. Zayed, Cairo, 1964, where Ibn-Sina presented most extensively his theory of the Number 1, Winter 2009 5 A Critical Examination of Ibn-Sina’s Theory conditional syllogism and, later on, the publication of Nabil Shehaby’s translaon of it into English in 19731 I think we have all we should have in hand to evaluate Ibn-Sina’s theory as it is, a theory Ibn-Sina regards as his important contribution to Aristotelian logic and as a new form of argument “unknown until now, which I myself discovered”2 (my translation).

It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.
  • Sufism: Love and Wisdom

    Sufism: Love and Wisdom

    Sufism: Love and Wisdom The inner spiritual core of Islam has been the focus of Sufi practitioners and thinkers for hundreds of years. Those initiated into its mysteries have sometimes expressed those mysteries in ecstatic poetry in a symbolic language of love, as did Rumi, or sometimes in reasoned prose, as did Ibn Arabi. Sufism: Love and Wisdom contains essays by such renowned scholars as: Seyyed Hossein Nasr, William Chittick, Titus Burckhardt, Maria Massi Dakake, Reza Shah-Kazemi Angus Macnab, William Stoddart, Leo Schaya Martin Lings, René Guénon, and Frithjof Schuon. This book also contains several essays translated into English for the first time including Denis Gril and Éric Geoffroy and contributions from a new generation of interpreters of Sufism. About the Co-Editors Jean-Louis Michon Jean-Louis Michon is a traditionalist French scholar and art consultant who specializes in Islam in North Africa, Islamic art, and Sufism. His works include Autobiography of a Moroccan Sufi: Ahmad Ibn ‘Ajiba (1747-1809), Lights of Islam: Institutions, Cultures, Arts, and Spirituality in the Islamic City. Dr. Michon coordinated the rehabilitation of traditional handicrafts in Morocco which were seriously threatened by industrialization. World Wisdom Roger Gaetani Roger Gaetani is an editor and long-time student of Sufism, who spent five years in Morocco as a teacher. While there, he developed an interest in Sufism and met a number of traditional Sufi adherents and teachers, including ‘Abd as-Salam ad-Darqawi, a master of Koranic recitation and a direct descendant of the great Sufi Shaykh Mulay al-‘Arabi ad-Darqawi. Gaetani also spent two years in Saudi Arabia, where he taught at King Abdul Aziz University in Jeddah.
