Designed as an introduction to their ideas, this book concentrates on the Brethren's writings, analyzing the impact on them of thinkers such as Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle and the Neoplatonists. Ian Netton traces the influences of Judaism and Christianity, and controversially this book argues that the Brethren of Purity did not belong to the Ismaili branch of Islam as is generally believed.Islamic philosophyPhilosophy, MedievalElectronic books.Islamic philosophy.Philosophy, Medieval.181.07Netton Ian Richard614797FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910453554703321Muslim neoplatonists1194271UNINA
