 ttwochabend\, den 11. Juni 2025 um 18 Uhr c.t. in GB 5/160\, mit einem Key
 note-Vortrag von Prof. Asad Q. Ahmed (University of California\, Berkeley)
  mit dem Titel “The Legacy of Avicennism in Nineteenth-Century South As
 ia“.\n\nAbstract: This lecture investigates the reception of the famous 
 Avicennan "essence-existence" distinction in nineteenth century South Asia
 .  Its point of reference is a treatise on simple and compound generation
  that lays out the various philosophical and theological issues at stake i
 n upholding and rejecting the distinction.  The treatise engages a rather
  extensive chronological span:  it takes us from the Illuminationists and
  Peripatetics to debates in Isfahan and Shiraz and ultimately to the philo
 sophers and theologians of South Asia.  The lecture examines closely some
  of the technical arguments and assumptions underlying the adoption or rej
 ection of the distinction\, the technical prowess of some of the solutions
 \, and the late and dynamic South Asian contributions to the debate. It co
 ncludes with reflections on why this subtle point of philosophy mattered i
 n the broader South Asian context.\n\nMehr Informationen zur Tagung folgen
