The text of the Arabic Plotinus, which includes the Theology of Aristotle, is the work of an anonymous author from al-Kindi's translation circle who paraphrased parts of Plotinus Enneads. The Arabic Plotinus historically stands at the beginnings of a vital tradition that passed on Greek thought first to Islamic thinkers and, later, to the Christian world. Philosophically, the text presents a unique opportunity to study the earliest confrontation of several traditions of thought, Neoplatonism, Aristotelianism and Islam being chief among them. Thus the dissertation explores the ramifications for Platonic philosophy, broadly construed, in a new context where philosophers began to show how Neoplatonism could be reconciled with monotheism, and how Islam could be reconciled with the various strands of the Greek tradition.
