Amazing mutual influences

It is really amazing how the Latin West and the Byzantine World influenced each other, and finally the comparison of the Renaissance with Al-Andalus is very interesting, too. I have a strong feeling that a comparison of them both, and with the House of Wisdom / Translation Movement in Bagdad could shed light on some very interesting common aspects as well as differences. This podcast endangers you clearly to stimulate new thinking :-)

Query

Hello Peter,

 

I follow your podcasts: truly excellent ( content, bibliography, etc). Do you think to study also, for example the Jewish and Iranian (Persian) Philosophy>?  Not only Maimonides but other Authors. Also the great Persian Thinkers.

Excuse me if this question isn't correct.

Anyway ,many thanks.

Jews and Persians

Sure, that has already been covered at great length in the series of episodes on philosophy in the Islamic world which includes lots of Jewish and of course Persian thinkers.

Intro Music

Hello, where did you find the opening hymn from? I've been looking for a copy of that exact rendition.

 

Thank you!

Gennadios Scholarios and Thomas Aquinas

Dear Peter,

Another great episode , exactly as i thought it would be. If i may point out something which i found quite interesting when i listened to it by Professor Retsos of the University of Ioannina, Greece.He said that Scholarios was a great fan of Thomas and in a letter to him he regrets the fact , and he says that to him, that Thomas Aquinas was not born an Orthodox Christian. I think this adds value to your point about the influence that the West had on Byzantium.

Once again, thank you for the content.

Kind regards,

Ioannis
