abstract
| - Abu'l-Barakāt Hibat Allah ibn Malkā al-Baghdādī (Arabic: أبو البركات هبة الله بن ملكا البغدادي; c. 1080 – 1164 or 1165 CE) was an Islamic philosopher, physicist, psychologist, physician and scientist of Jewish-Arab descent from Baghdad, Iraq. His Hebrew birth name was Nathanel, before converting from Judaism to Islam at some point in his life. His writings include the anti-Aristotelian work Kitāb al-Muʿtabar ("The Book of What Has Been Established by Personal Reflection"); a philosophical commentary on the Kohelet; and the treatise "On the Reason Why the Stars Are Visible at Night and Hidden in Daytime". Abu'l-Barakāt in many respects followed Ibn Sina, but also developed his own ideas. He proposed an explanation of the acceleration of falling bodies by the accumulation of successive increments of power with successive increments of velocity, anticipating Newton's second law of motion. His thought influenced the Illuminationist school of classical Islamic philosophy, the medieval Jewish philosopher 'Izz ad-Dawla Ibn Kammuna, and the Christian philosophers Jean Buridan and Albert of Saxony.
