Books by Peter Adamson

Adamson and Ganeri present a lively introduction to one of the world's richest intellectual traditions: the philosophy of classical India. They guide us through such famous works as the Vedas and the Upanisads, and tell the stories of how Buddhism and Jainism developed. Anyone curious about South Asian philosophy can start here.

A reunion of friends and lovers; a conspiracy that begins as a joke; a secret to be kept for thirty years--this is a daring, ingenious and profoundly moving political thriller from an author whose career has put him at the very heart of international affairs.

The so-called "Theology of Aristotle" is a translation of the Enneads of Plotinus, the most important representative of late ancient Platonism. It was produced in the 9th century CE within the circle of al-Kindi, one of the most important groups for the early reception of Greek thought in Arabic.

Philosophy in the Islamic world from the 9th to 11th centuries was characterized by an engagement with Greek philosophical works in Arabic translation. This volume collects papers on both the Greek philosophers in their new Arabic guise, and on reactions to the translation movement in the period leading up to Avicenna.--

This book collects papers on the greatest philosopher of late antiquity and founder of Neoplatonism, Plotinus (d.270), and the founding figure of philosophy in the Islamic world: al-Kind? (d. ca. 873). A number of the contributions focus on the text that joins the two: the Theology of Aristotle.
