OK! The world might be burning, and I'm usually too cool for this: but I'm personally excited about a boring acdemic thing!!

Here is an open-access source book on post-calssical Arabic/Persian logic and epistemology

Thanks to @histphilosophy.bsky.social, Fedor, Dustin, and other editors for this!

Looking at some old lecture materials on A.B. al-Razi, I am proud of how I presented the representations of Platonic solids.

Mahrad Almotahari, Conscious Thought under Sensory Deprivation: Avicenna's Flying Man and 'I' - PhilPapers This paper offers a new take on Avicenna's Flying Man, one that explains why it's better than its Cartesian counterpart.

A wonderful forthcoming article on Avicenna's floating man argument. Its methodology is dear to me, because it analyzes Avicenna's argument as rigorously as one'd do in contemporary philosophy, while justifying itself through textual underdetermination. Highly recommended! philpapers.org/rec/ALMCTU
