Beschreibung

Tracing the history of the interactions of philosophy, theology, and mysticism in Islamic culture, Majid Fakhry¿s comprehensive survey follows the evolution of thought from the introduction of Greek Philosophy into the Muslim world in the eighth century right up to the modern era. This book explores the conflicts and controversies between anti- and pro- philosophical parties that have characterised the development of Islamic thought, and covers the main tenets of Islam, stressing the importance of the translation and dissemination of ancient texts to Muslim culture, the development of kalam (dialectical philosophy) and the rise of Sufism (mysticism).

Accessible and stimulating, this book will be appreciated by students, scholars and all those interested in broadening their knowledge of the Islamic tradition.
