Using the language and conceptual apparatus of contemporary Anglo-American ?Analytic? philosophy, this book represents a novel and creative attempt to rejuvenate Islamic Philosophy for a modern audience. It adopts a ?rational reconstructive? approach to the history of philosophy by affording maximum hermeneutical priority to the strongest possible interpretation of a philosopher?s arguments while also paying attention to the historical context in which they worked. The central canonical figures of Medieval Islamic Philosophy ? al-Kindi, al-Farabi, Avicenna, al-Ghazali, Averroes ? are presented chronologically along with an introduction to the central themes of Islamic theology and the Greek philosophical tradition they inherited. The book then briefly introduces what the author collectively refers to as the ?Pre-Modern? figures including Suhrawardi, Mulla Sadra, and Ibn Taymiyyah, and presents all of these thinkers, along with their Medieval predecessors, as forerunners to the more modern incarnation of Islamic Philosophy: Political Islam. . 410 0$aPalgrave Philosophy Today 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aIslam 606 $aPhilosophy, Asian 606 $aPhilosophy, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E00003 606 $aIslam$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A5000 606 $aNon-Western Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E44060 615 0$aPhilosophy. 615 0$aIslam. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Asian. 615 14$aPhilosophy, general. 615 24$aIslam. 615 24$aNon-Western Philosophy. 676 $a181 700 $aBooth$b Anthony Robert$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0933734 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910280948803321 996 $aAnalytic Islamic Philosophy$92102086 997 $aUNINA
