書籍簡介/Book De*ion

阿爾法拉比（約870-950）在中世紀伊斯蘭和阿拉伯文化中創立了亞里士多德/柏拉圖政治哲學的偉大傳統。在這本政治著作的第二卷中，查爾斯-E. Butterworth介紹了阿爾法拉比的《政治政權》和《柏拉圖定律的概述》的譯本，並附有介紹，討論了每部作品的背景並探討了其教學。此外，這些文本都有仔細的註釋，以幫助讀者瞭解阿爾法拉比的論點。阿拉伯語-英語/英語-阿拉伯語詞彙表使感興趣的讀者能夠核實特定詞彙的翻譯方式。

自始至終，Butterworth的方法是用同一個英語單詞來翻譯同一個阿拉伯語單詞，以一種異常忠實而又平易近人的方式呈現阿爾法拉比的風格。

Alfarabi (ca. 870-950) founded the great tradition of Aristotelian/Platonic political philosophy in medieval Islamic and Arabic culture. In this second volume of political writings, Charles E.

Butterworth presents translations of Alfarabi's Political Regime and Summary of Plato's Laws, accompanied by introductions that discuss the background for each work and explore its teaching. In addition, the texts are carefully annotated to aid the reader in following Alfarabi's argument. An Arabic-English/English-Arabic glossary allows interested readers to verify the way particular words are translated.

Throughout, Butterworth's method is to translate consistently the same Arabic word by the same English word, rendering Alfarabi's style in an unusually faithful and yet approachable manner.

媒體推薦/Comments

"Butterworth對這兩部著作作了精彩介紹，提供了人們可能找到的對阿爾法拉比的形而上學的優秀介紹。在簡要介紹阿爾法拉比的生活時，他還提請人們注意經常被遺忘的古代世界的主要學習中心"。

——The Review of Metaphysics

"準確且非常可讀.... Butterworth是穆赫辛-馬赫迪的學生，他是我們這個時代（也許是所有時代）研究阿爾法拉比的主要學者，他對阿爾法拉比著作的許多版本、翻譯和研究，豐富了我們對這位極具影響力的哲學家的理解。Butterworth是馬赫迪的知識分子.... 我們非常感謝Butterworth，他以令人欽佩的責任感承擔了這項使命"。

—— Speculum

"Butterworth將《政治制度》的理論議程和《摘要》的實際關切巧妙地結合在一卷中。這卷書是對阿爾法拉比學術的傑出貢獻，對伊斯蘭哲學感興趣的人應該非常歡迎。

——The Review of Politics

"The translation on the whole is clear and very readable.... Readers with neither knowledge of Arabic nor familiarity with al-Farabi's writings will find the text easy to understand and follow, and the book will be useful for students."

—— Journal of Islamic Studies

"Butterworth here offers... a commendable, skilled rendition of the Summary of Plato's Laws."

——Journal of the History of Philosophy

"Butterworth richly deserves to be congratulated for providing advanced students and scholars with authoritative, reliable, and readable translations of Alfarabi's important political writings."
