At the roots of causality: ontology and aetiology from Avicenna to Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī.

Francesco Omar Zamboni's book "At the Roots of Causality" explores the doctrines related to Avicenna's writings on existence, contingency, and causality, examining their reception by various Islamic philosophers from the eleventh to thirteenth centuries. The book categorizes these philosophers as Avicennians, anti-Avicennians, and innovators, shedding light on their diverse perspectives and arguments. While the main theme is causality, the book also delves into Avicenna's metaphysical doctrines, providing a comprehensive analysis of the interplay between ontology and aetiology in Islamic philosophy.
