\n\;About the &ldquo\;Aquinas and &lsquo\;the Arabs&rsquo\; Project.&rdquo\; \; The goal of the project is to promote understanding and insight into philosophical and theological issues prominent in the Medieval period in the Abrahamic traditions in Arabic\, Hebrew and Latin writings\, issues which continue to inform philosophical and theological thought today in important ways. The major focus of the \;Project is on issues in the thought of Aquinas which elucidate the depth of his engagement with the Arabic and Jewish traditions and the positive and valuable influence of those traditions on his thought and that of Christian thinkers of the high middle ages in Europe. The Project\, however\, is not limited to Aquinas but rather seeks to promote the understanding of philosophical thought in all three Abrahamic traditions in themselves as well as in their interactions and influences. To that end the Project encourages work in all three traditions and is particularly interested in influences\, parallel developments and also unique and valuable philosophical and theological insights and contributions to the history of philosophy. \; For more information\, see http://academic.mu.edu/taylorr/Aquinas_and_the_Arabs/Aquinas_%26_the_Arabs.html
