Philosophy in the Islamic world emerged in the ninth century and
continued to flourish into the fourteenth century. It was strongly
influenced by Greek thought, but Islamic philosophers also
developed an original philosophical culture of their own, which had
a considerable impact on the subsequent course of Western
philosophy. This volume offers new translations of philosophical
writings by Farabi, Ibn Sina (Avicenna), Ghazali, Ibn Tufayl, and
Ibn Rushd (Averroes). All of the texts presented here were very
influential and invite comparison with later works in the Western
tradition. They focus on metaphysics and epistemology but also
contribute to broader debates concerning the conception of God, the
nature of religion, the place of humanity in the universe, and the
limits of human reason. A historical and philosophical introduction
sets the writings in context and traces their preoccupations and
their achievement.
