THE ATLAS OF THE ONE AND THE MANY
The Theology of Aristotle
the Theology
nature
An Arabic paraphrase of Enneads IV–VI, produced in al-Kindī's circle and circulated under Aristotle's name. It is the reason a thousand years of Islamic and Jewish philosophy believed Aristotle had written a mystical account of the soul's ascent to the One. He had not. Plotinus had.
The single most load-bearing node in this pack. The pipe from Greek emanation to Jewish emanation runs through this book, and this book is a case of mistaken authorship that nobody caught for centuries.
