Examines one of the most exciting and dynamic periods in the
development of medieval Islam, from the late 9th to the early 11th
century, through the thought of five of its principal thinkers,
prime among them al-Farabi. This great Islamic philosopher, called
'the Second Master' after Aristotle, produced a recognizable school
of thought in which others pursued and developed some of his own
intellectual preoccupations. Their thought is treated with
particular reference to the most basic questions which can be asked
in the theory of knowledge or epistemology. The book thus fills a
lacuna in the literature by using this approach to highlight the
intellectual continuity which was maintained in an age of flux.
Particular attention is paid to the ethical dimensions of
knowledge.
