 Al-Fārābī’s work on logic and language had a direct effect on several Arabic authors in the two hundred years after his  death.[4]  These include Ibn Bājja (Avempace), Ibn Sīnā (Avicenna), Al-Ghazālī (Algazel), and Ibn Rushd (Averroes). He also influenced a number of medieval Jewish authors including Maimonides. The Latins knew him as Alfarabius or Alpharabius or Abunaser. His influence can be seen in Scholastic treatments of determinism, poetic argument, and the classification of sciences, and probably also in ampliation.
