In the history of philosophy, few topics are so relevant to today's
cultural and political landscape as philosophy in the Islamic
world. Yet, this remains one of the lesser-known philosophical
traditions. In this Very Short Introduction, Peter Adamson explores
the history of philosophy among Muslims, Jews, and Christians
living in Islamic lands, from its historical background to thinkers
in the twentieth century. Introducing the main philosophical themes
of the Islamic world, Adamson integrates ideas from the Islamic and
Abrahamic faiths to consider the broad philosophical questions that
continue to invite debate: What is the relationship between reason
and religious belief? What is the possibility of proving God's
existence? What is the nature of knowledge? Drawing on the most
recent research in the field, this book challenges the assumption
of the cultural decline of philosophy and science in the Islamic
world by demonstrating its rich heritage and overlap with other
faiths and philosophies.
