Reading Enumeration of the Sciences | Alexandria
Read Enumeration of the Sciences by Al-Farabi. Mapping human knowledge into an intricate web, Al-Farabi's Enumeration of Sciences daringly argued that all disciplines - from math to metaphysics - form one unified system. His radical claim that poetry and logic share equal footing as tools for truth-seeking challenged medieval thinking and still confronts our modern tendency to separate "hard" and "soft" sciences.
