LECTURE POSTPONED: "What is Man in Classical Arabic Philosophy?"

"What is Man in Classical Arabic Philosophy?" with Dr. Touati Houari has been postponed. Stay tuned for updates on the new scheduled date for the talk.

The questioning of man is old, and it is Greek. First Aristotle asked, "what is a man?" Then Galen wondered, "What is the man?" The question entered classical Islamic culture at the end of the 8th century. In this talk Dr. Touati Houari will explore the philosophical and theological consequences of this questioning from the perspective of Foucault's archaeology of man.
