Preface
For approximately four years I enjoyed the privilege of thinking, reading, talking
(and at times even dreaming) about a small treatise by Aristotle and the enor-
mous effect it had on the course of intellectual history, particularly on a philo-
sophical reform project that was launched more than thirteen centuries later in
the Eastern part of the Islamic world.
The present book was written under fortunate circumstances: with a schol-
arship from the Cusanuswerk and in the framework of the British-German re-
search project “Major issues and controversies of Arabic logic and philosophy of
language,” based at Ruhr-Universität Bochum as well as Cambridge University
and jointly funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and the British
Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). I would like to express my deep
gratitude to my first supervisor Cornelia Schöck (Bochum) for all her intellectual
and practical support. Moreover, I would like to thank my second supervisor
Peter Adamson (Munich) and the doyen of
Graeco-Arabica
Gerhard Endreß
(Bochum) for their encouragement and inspiration. Last but not least I am
grateful to Tony Street for the exciting workshops he organized at the Universi-
ty of Cambridge and to all participants of these memorable gatherings for their
helpful remarks and challenging questions.
My Benedictine school in Augsburg enabled me to grow in the love of God
and wisdom. During my studies in Berlin, Rome and Cairo I came across the
relation of language and reality in all kinds of variations. The manner in which
my family contributed to this book is too manifold to be expressed in few words:
I am blessed to be the son of caring and committed parents, to be married to a
wonderful woman who is my partner in all dimensions of being and to be the
father of two marvelous children who taught me more astonishment and humili-
ty than philosophy ever could.
