Al-Farabi Founder Of Islamic Neoplatonism
- The first systematic philosopher in Islam was Abu-Nasr al-Farabi (d. 950), to whom this volume is devoted. He developed an elaborate emanationist scheme, affiliated to the metaphysics and cosmology of Plotinus (d. 270) and Proclus (d. 450), known as Neoplatonism, which had no precedent in the world of Islam.
