Entry: Second Spring Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/second_spring#21578 Post contents: <i>Most of Modern, Christian, “Western” Philosophy came from the Aristotelian obsessed minds of two Muslim gentlemen, named Averroes & Avicenna.</i> What exactly do you mean by "Modern"? If you are talking about the medievals, yes they had access to Aristotle through the commentaries by Maimonides and the Muslims, but so what? They didn't accept Averroes and Avicenna interpretation wholesale, and that is true of their appropriation of Aristotle as well. If you speak of modern philosophy as that which came after the medieval period, then the above statement is false. Sent at: 2008 11 23
