【Summary】
Abū ʿAlī Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Yaʿqūb Miskawayh (d. 421 A.H.) stands among the most prominent scholars of the fourth and fifth centuries A.H., having authored more than forty works spanning philosophy, mathematics, medicine, alchemy, and related sciences. al-Rasāʾil wa al-Makātīb brings together eighteen treatises and epistles drawn from his diverse corpus, addressing a wide range of topics in wisdom (ḥikma), philosophy, poetry, and literature.
This collection represents some of Miskawayh’s most important shorter writings and provides a coherent picture of his intellectual profile, methodological approaches, and literary style. As such, it is an indispensable source for understanding the breadth of his thought and his contribution to the development of Islamic philosophy and ethics.
