Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

Al-Allaf, a philosophy instructor in the US, presents the core ideas of Islamic philosophy from within the Islamic tradition, analyzing the ideas of the Muslim philosophers as expressed in the primary texts, and structuring their arguments, rather than just tracing their ideas in a traditional historical method. He argues that Islamic philosophy has an essence related to the root of Islamic civilization, but is not itself the essence of civilization, as some contend.
