Reviews
Dunlop has shown abundantly how significant ethical questions were for a wide range of Arabic Philosophers and Theologians. Essential to our understanding of their debt to the Peripatetic tradition is an edition and translation of the Arabic Nichomachean Ethics which is provided here." Charles S.F. Burnett
Akasoy and Fidora have done an excellent job in bringing to light this important work. They have also provided the reader with a Greek-Arabic and Arabic-Greek glosssary of key terms in the Ethics, a selected bibliography, and an index of names mentioned in the introduction. The careful editing of such a work is a monumental undertaking. I am grateful to them for their initiative and their dedication. This is a work that should be perused by all students of medieval Islamic and Jewish philosophy. Steven Harvey Journal of the American Oriental Society, 2008
