In this innovative work, Salman H. Bashier challenges traditional
views of Islamic philosophy. While Islamic thought from the crucial
medieval period is often depicted as a rationalistic elaboration on
Aristotelian philosophy and an attempt to reconcile it with the
Muslim religion, Bashier puts equal emphasis on the influence of
Plato s philosophical mysticism. This shift encourages a new
reading of Islamic intellectual tradition, one in which boundaries
between philosophy, religion, mysticism, and myth are relaxed.
Bashier shows the manner in which medieval Islamic philosophers
reflected on the relation between philosophy and religion as a
problem that is intrinsic to philosophy and shows how their
deliberations had the effect of redefining the very limits of their
philosophical thought. The problems of the origin of human beings,
human language, and the world in Islamic philosophy are discussed.
Bashier highlights the importance of Ibn Tufayl s Hayy Ibn Yaqzan,
a landmark work often overlooked by scholars, and the thought of
the great Sufi mystic Ibn al-Arabi to the mainstream of Islamic
philosophy."
