Fakhr al-Din al-Razi (1148 - 1210) wrote prolifically in the
disciplines of theology, Quranic exegesis, and philosophy. He
composed treatises on jurisprudence, medicine, physiognomy,
astronomy, and astrology. His body of work marks a momentous
turning point in the Islamic tradition and his influence within the
post-classical Islamic tradition is striking. After his death in
1210 his works became standard textbooks in Islamic institutions of
higher learning. Razi investigates his transformative contributions
to the Islamic intellectual tradition. One of the leading
representatives of Sunni orthodoxy in medieval Islam, Razi was the
first intellectual to exploit the rich heritage of ancient and
Islamic philosophy to interpret the Quran. Jaffer uncovers Razi's
boldly unconventional intellectual aspirations. The book elucidates
the development of Razi's unique appropriation of methods and ideas
from ancient and Islamic philosophy into a unified Quranic
commentary-and consequently into the Sunni worldview. Jaffer shows
that the genre of Quranic commentary in the post-classical period
contains a wealth of philosophical material that is of major
interest for the history of philosophical ideas in Islam and for
the interaction of the aqli ("rational") and naqli ("traditional")
sciences in Islamic civilization. Jaffer demonstrates the ways Razi
reconciled the opposing intellectual trends of his milieu on major
methodological conflicts. A highly original work, this book
brilliantly repositions the central aims of Razi's intellectual
program.
