"A lucid translation of an important text in the Illuminationist tradition, accompanied by valuable notes and commentary."--Ali Gheissari, University of San Diego "This book marks a milestone in scholarship on the interactions of Muslim and Jewish philosophy during the pre-modern period. Tzvi Langermann's annotated translation masterfully analyzes Ibn Kammuna's concise treatise of theoretical and practical philosophy, rendering it accessible to the modern reader."--Sabine Schmidtke, Professor of Islamic Intellectual History, Institute for Advanced Study "A fascinating introduction to the thought of one of the most intriguing figures in Islamicate philosophy of the 13th century. A fine addition to the canon of post-classical philosophy in the Islamic world."--John Walbridge, Indiana University
