In Aesthetics in Arabic Thought from Pre-Islamic Arabia through
al-Andalus Jose Miguel Puerta Vilchez analyzes the discourses about
beauty, the arts, and sense perception that arose within classical
Arab culture from pre-Islamic poetry and the Quran (sixth-seventh
centuries CE) to the Alhambra palace in Granada (fourteenth century
CE). He focuses on the contributions of such great thinkers as Ibn
Hazm, Avempace, Ibn Tufayl, Averroes, Ibn 'Arabi, and Ibn Khaldun
in al-Andalus, and the Brethren of Purity, al-Tawhidi, al-Farabi,
Avicenna, Alhazen, and al-Ghazali in the East. The work also
explores literary criticism, calligraphy, music, belles-lettres
(adab), and erotic literature, and highlights the contribution of
Arab humanism to shaping the field of Aesthetics in the West.
