تاريخ الفلسفة في الإسلام

This survey traces the development of philosophy in the Islamic world, from the early translation movement that brought Greek learning into Arabic to the thinkers who built on it. It introduces figures such as al-Kindi and al-Farabi, the great synthesis of Avicenna, the critical commentaries of Averroes and the influential challenges raised by al-Ghazali. Along the way it considers how these philosophers wrestled with questions of reason, revelation, the nature of God and the order of the world, and how their ideas moved between Baghdad, Cordoba and other centres of learning. Written by a respected scholar of Islamic thought, it offers a clear overview for readers who want to understand how philosophy and faith were debated together in the medieval Islamic tradition.
