Translations and explanations

In 2011, Abdullaoglu started translating one of Avicenna's final books, Remarks and Admonitions (Kitab al-isharat wa al-tanbihat). In parallel with the semantic translation of the book, Rovshan Abdullaoglu provided his own interpretation of Avicenna's metaphysics and logic as two books Contemplation and On the Levels of the Mystics. [3] [4]

In 2012, he went on to translate the work of another philosopher-scientist: Muhammad Husayn Tabataba'i. The translation and interpretation of this treatise was published in three parts. [5] [6] [7]

In March 2019 the first book entitled "Captivity" in the series of "God: Myth or Reality" was published. It is a science book that explains the psychological reasons for ardent defense and negation of the concept of "creator" by various ideological schools. [11]

To date, 25 books by Abdullaev have been published in Azerbaijan. Most of these have translated into English, Russian and Turkish.
