It explains his theory of knowledge in which intentionality acts as an interaction between the mind and the world. This, in turn, led Ibn Sīnā to distinguish an operation of intentionality specific to the generation of numbers. The author argues that Ibn Sīnā's transformation of philosophy is one of the major stages in the de-hellinisation movement of the Greek heritage that was set off by the advent of the Arabic-Islamic civilisation. Readers first learn about Ibn Sīnā's unprecedented investigation into the concept of the number and his criticism of such Greek thought as Plato's realism, Pythagoreans' empiricism, and Ari stotle's conception of existence. Next, coverage sets out the basics of Ibn Sīnā's theory of knowledge needed for the construction of numbers. It describes how intentionality turns out to be key in showing the ontological dependence of numbers as well as even more critical to their construction. In describing the various mental operations that make mathematical objects intentional entities, Ibn Sīnā developed powerful arguments and subtle analyses to show us the extent our mental life depends on intentionality. This monograph thoroughly explores the epistemic dimension of this concept, which, the author believes, can also explain the actual genesis and evolution of mathematics by the human mind. 000752570 60000 $$aAvicenna,$$d980-1037. 000752570 650_0 $$aKnowledge, Theory of. 000752570 650_0 $$aIslamic philosophy. 000752570 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aTahiri, Hassan.$$tMathematics and the mind.$$z3319252364$$z9783319252360$$w(OCoLC)919479579 000752570 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in philosophy. 000752570 852__ $$bebk 000752570 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-25238-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000752570 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:752570$$pGLOBAL_SET 000752570 980__ $$aEBOOK 000752570 980__ $$aBIB 000752570 982__ $$aEbook 000752570 983__ $$aOnline 000752570 994__ $$a92$$bISE
