Damien Janos (PhD, McGill University, 2009) has worked for several years as a postdoctoral researcher in Canadian and German institutions. His research focuses primarily on the history of Arabic philosophy and especially on the works of al-Fārābī and Avicenna.
"There are rich seams in the essays gathered here, and specialists
in medieval philosophy (in the main) will benefit from them… What
they make undeniably clear is that the lines of continuity from the
intellectual world of the pre-Islamic past remained strong and
unbroken, despite all of the political and religious upheavals that
might have disrupted or broken them... Shihadeh’s painstaking
efforts in this study-cum-edition have finally supplied scholars
with the missing first episode in the long story of the commentary
tradition on Ibn Sīnā’s Ishārāt."
David Thomas in Nazariyat, 3.1 (2016).
“…this collection of papers, edited by Damien Janos, …represents a
significant milestone: Janos’ own paper is probably the most
interesting article ever published on Abū Bišr Mattā, founder of
the Baghdad school, and there are several important studies of Ibn
ʿAdī as well. These investigations of the Baghdad Peripatetics are
contextualized with pieces on the wider development of Christian
thought.”
Peter Adamson in IHIW, 5 (2017).
