The basis of Muslim philosophy and science is the instruction
buried in the Quran. At an early date this tradition was enlarged
and strengthened by the infiltration into Muslim culture of Greek
philosophy and science through the translation of Greek classics by
Muslims. The Indian tradition of thought also made its contribution
to this intellectual leaven. This book traces the development and
interaction of these strands in Muslim thinking. The author is
concerned to show both how philosophy and science are related to
specifically religious thought, and how they have made distinctive
contributions to method and discovery. The impact of secularisation
on the Muslim world puts these traditions under considerable
strain, and it is interesting to define how far this pressure is a
productive and fertile one. The current century has seen a
Renaissance of Muslim science and philosophy; this book sets the
new achievements clearly against their historical background. First
published in 1988.
