Related Titles A Brief Introduction to Islamic Philosophy 'In a stellar performance, Oliver Leaman has directed his comprehensive grasp of Islamic philosophy to show how its central inquiries engage current philosophical issues, all the while suggesting how the inherently mystical dimensions present in some Islamic philosophers might enrich the western discussion. Through a presentation at once critical and engaging, we discover affinities and differences which illuminate our own understanding.' David B. Burrell, University of Notre Dame Although Islamic philosophy represents one of the most important philosophical traditions in the world, it has only recently begun to receive the attention it deserves in the non-Islamic world. This important text provides a concise and accessible introduction to the major movements, thinkers and concepts within that tradition, from the foundation of Islam to the present day. 229 x 152 mm 199 pages January 2000
