Published earlier this year by OUP Pakistan, a translation of Avicenna’s Deliverance: Logic, by Asad Q. Ahmed.
This book offers for the first time a complete scholarly translation, commentary, and glossary in a modern European language of the logic section of Ibn Sīnā’s (d. 1037 ce) very important compendium al-Najāt (The Deliverance). The original, written in Arabic, is the product of the middle period of the most renowned Muslim philosopher and physician, known in the Latin West as Avicenna. Avicenna’s logical system took as its starting point the Aristotelian and the Peripatetic tradition, but diverged from these in fascinating and original ways.
