al-Jadīd fī al-ḥikma

The main philosophical work of ʿIzz al-Dawla Ibn Kammūna, a Jewish philosopher of Baghdad who wrote within the Avicennian and Illuminationist traditions. In seven parts it treats logic, philosophical concepts, nature, the soul, the intellect and God, with logic first and in a lengthy form; it also discusses the liar paradox. Shorter versions (Talkhīṣ al-ḥikma, Kitāb fī al-ḥikma) survive. It shows that the logic of the Maragha period was shared by scholars outside the Muslim community, including in exchanges with al-Kātibī.
