Theology of Aristotle
Traditional attribution
Theology of Aristotle
أثولوجيا أرسطوطاليس
An exposition of the Neoplatonic doctrine of the One, Intellect and Soul and of the soul's return to its origin, presented under Aristotle's name. Its attribution led the Arabic philosophers, and through them some Latin ones, to believe that Plato and Aristotle taught at bottom the same metaphysics of emanation, and partly explains the mystical tone of falsafa.
