Philosophy And Arab Knowledge

By T. J. DeBoer and Edward R. Jones

Book Overview

Philosophy and Arab Knowledge is a comprehensive exploration of the rich philosophical tradition of the Arab world. Written by T.J. DeBoer, a renowned scholar of Islamic philosophy, the book traces the development of Arab thought from the pre-Islamic period to the modern era. The author examines the contributions of key figures such as al-Farabi, Ibn Rushd (Averroes), and Ibn Arabi, and explores their ideas on topics ranging from metaphysics and epistemology to ethics and politics. The book also provides an overview of the various schools of thought that emerged in the Arab world, including the Mu'tazilites, the Ash'arites, and the Maturidis. Throughout the book, DeBoer emphasizes the importance of understanding Arab philosophy in its historical and cultural context, and highlights the ways in which it has influenced Western thought. Philosophy and Arab Knowledge is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of philosophy or the intellectual traditions of the Arab world.THIS 46 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: History of Philosophy in Islam, by T.
