The volume explores different hermeneutical approaches by Christian philosophers and theologians to the Arabic and Hebrew philosophical traditions during the Middle Ages. Focusing on processes of appropriation, interpretation and criticism, the fourteen chapters of this volume show from different angles how the complex Latin reception of the Arabic and Hebrew intellectual legacy decisively shaped the Western philosophical discourse.
