Each chapter is organised chronologically and geographically, providing the reader with a lucid profile of the evolution of Islamic philosophical thought, with reference to the broader framework of Islamic history. Throughout the author includes extracts of translations from primary sources, allowing the philosophers to speak for themselves.Rather than offering a complete history of the subject, the author aims to stimulate the reader to pursue the themes he outlines in the book: the ideas that were consistently the object of philosophical speculation among Medieval Muslim thinkers whose philosophy was rooted in Platonic and Aristotelian thought.Key FeaturesPresents a thorough but concise introduction to the foundations of Islamic philosophyIdeal for students wishing to trace the background to the many ideas and thought processes governing contemporary Islamic thought 606 $aIslamic philosophy 615 0$aIslamic philosophy. 676 $a181.07 700 $aCampanini$b Massimo$f1954-$0275801 702 $aHiggitt$b Caroline 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813759103321 996 $aAn introduction to Islamic philosophy$94097840 997 $aUNINA
