What is Isaac Israeli : a neoplatonic philosopher of the early tenth century : his works translated [from the Arabic] with comments and an outline of his philosophy about?

Recognized as one of the earliest Jewish neo-Platonist writers, Isaac ben Solomon Israeli (ca. 855–955) influenced Muslim, Jewish, and Christian scholars through the Middle Ages. A native of Egypt who wrote in Arabic, Israeli explored definitions of such terms as imagination, sense-perception, desire, love, creation, and “coming-to-be” in his writings. This classic volume contains English translations of Israeli’s philosophical writings, including the __Book of Definitions__, the __Book of Substances,__ and the __Book on Spirit and Soul__. Additionally, __Isaac Israeli__ features a biographical sketch of the philosopher and extensive notes and comments on the texts, as well as a survey and appraisal of his philosophy. Restored to print for the first time in decades, __Isaac Israeli__ will be essential reading for students and scholars of medieval philosophy and Jewish studies.
