DiPasquale’s translation and interpretation of Alfarabi’s Book of Dialectic advances our understanding of Alfarabi’s innovative approach to philosophy and subtle attempt to breathe new life into its pursuit. DiPasquale renders Dominic Mallet’s path-breaking edition of the Arabic text in a manner that captures Alfarabi’s nuances while respecting his unique reticence.' Charles E. Butterworth, University of Maryland 'A dependable English translation of Alfarabi’s indispensable work, Book of Dialectic, is a great boon - especially given that the only critical Arabic edition exists in an unpublished French dissertation. In addition, DiPasquale’s fine book reveals why dialectic is central not only to political philosophy but also to the whole of philosophy.' Josh Parens, University of Dallas 'David M.
