In this unique look at a key figure in the Islamic enlightenment,
Samer Akkach examines the life and works of 'Abd al-Ghani
al-Nabulusi (1641-1731) of Damascus: a contemporary of many major
thinkers, scientists, poets, and philosophers of the European
Enlightenment. Often characterized solely as a Sufi saint, his
thought and teachings were of a much wider remit. Through a fresh
reading of his unpublished biographical sources and large body of
mostly unpublished works, Akkach examines early expressions of
rationalism among Arab and Turkish scholars, and argues that 'Abd
al-Ghani helped herald the beginning of modernity in the Arab
world.
