In this book the author argues that the Falasifa, the Philosophers
of the Islamic Golden Age, are usefully interpreted through the
prism of the contemporary, western ethics of belief. He contends
that their position amounts to what he calls 'Moderate
Evidentialism' - that only for the epistemic elite what one ought
to believe is determined by one's evidence. The author makes the
case that the Falasifa's position is well argued, ingeniously
circumvents issues in the epistemology of testimony, and is well
worth taking seriously in the contemporary debate. He reasons that
this is especially the case since the position has salutary
consequences for how to respond to the sceptic, and for how we are
to conceive of extremist belief.
