Aristotelianism Abū Yūsuf Yaʻqūb ibn ʼIsḥāq aṣ-Ṣabbāḥ al-Kindī(/ælˈkɪndi/;Arabic:أبو يوسف يعقوب بن إسحاق الصبّاح الكندي;Latin:Alkindus;c.801–873 AD) was an Arabpolymathwho was active as a philosopher, mathematician, physician, and music theorist. Al-Kindi was the first of theIslamic peripatetic philosophers, and is hailed as the "father ofArab philosophy". Al-Kindi was born inKufaand educated inBaghdad.He became a prominent figure in theHouse of Wisdom(Bayt al-Hikma), an institute of translation and learning patronized by theAbbasidcaliphs, in Baghdad, and a number of Abbasid caliphs appointed him to oversee the translation ofGreekscientific and philosophical texts into theArabic language. This contact with "the philosophy of the ancients" (asHellenistic philosophywas often referred to by Muslim scholars) had a profound effect on him, as he synthesized, adapted and promoted Hellenistic andPeripateticphilosophy in theMuslim world.He subsequently wrote hundreds of original treatises of his own on a range of subjects, frommetaphysics, ethics,logicandpsychology, to medicine,pharmacology,mathematics,astronomy,astrologyandoptics, and further afield to more practical topics like perfumes, swords, jewels, glass, dyes, zoology, tides, mirrors,meteorologyandearthquakes. In the field ofmathematics, al-Kindi played an important role in introducingHindu-Arabic numeralsto the Islamic world, and their further development intoArabic numeralsalong withal-Khwarizmi, which eventually were adopted by the rest of the world.Al-Kindi was also one of the fathers ofcryptography.Building on the work ofal-Khalil(717–786),Al-Kindi's book entitledManuscript on Deciphering Cryptographic Messagesgave rise to the birth ofcryptanalysis, was the earliest known use ofstatistical inference,and introduced several new methods of breaking ciphers, notablyfrequency analysis.He was able to create a scale that would enable doctors to gauge the effectiveness of their medication by combining his knowledge of mathematics and medicine. The central theme underpinning al-Kindi's philosophical writings is the compatibility between philosophy and other "orthodox" Islamic sciences, particularly theology, and many of his works deal with subjects in which theologians had an immediate interest. These include the nature of God, thesoul, andprophetic knowledge.
