1. Iamblichus' response to Aristotle's and Pseudo-Archytas' theories of time/ Sergey Trostyanskiy -- 2. The Byzantine concept of historical time: origin and development/ Smilen Markov -- 3. Maximus the Confessor's theory of time: a Christianization of the Aristotelian Legacy?/ Sotiris Mitralexis -- 4. Syn-odical ontology: Maximus the Confessor's proposition for ontology, within history and in the Eschaton/ Dionysiso Skliris -- 5. Timie in Islamic Kalam/ Mohamed Basil Altaie -- 6. Al-Farabi on the role of philosophy of history in the history of civilization/ Georgios Steiris -- 7. Zeno's Paradoxes and the reality of motion according to Ibn al-Arabi's single monad model of the Cosmos/ Mohamed Ali Haj Yousef
"This volume constitutes an attempt at bringing together philosophies of time - or more precisely, philosophies on time and, in a concomitant way, history - emerging from Christianity's and Islam's intellectual histories. Starting from the Neoplatonic heritage and the voice of classical philosophy, the volume enters the Byzantine and Arabic intellectual worlds up to Ibn Al-Arabi's times. A conscious choice in this volume is not to engage with, perhaps, the most prominent figures of Christian and Arabic philosophy, i.e., Augustine on the one hand and Avicenna/Ibn Sina on the other, precisely because these have attracted so much attention due to their prominence in their respective traditions - and beyond. In a certain way, Maximus the Confessor and Ibn Al-Arabi - together with Al-Farabi - emerge as alternative representatives of their two traditions in this volume, offering two axes for this endeavor. The synthesis of those approaches on time and history, their comparison rather than their mere co-existence, is left to the reader's critical inquiry and philosophical investigation." -- Publisher's description.
