内容説明

From the introduction of Greek philosophy into the Muslim world in the eighth century to modern times, this book charts the evolution and interaction of philosophy, theology and mysticism in the Islamic context. In a succinct but comprehensive guide, the author highlights key individuals, movements, concepts and writings, and explores the conflicts and controversies between anti-an pro-philosophical parties that have characterised the development of Islamic thought. The book also features coverage of: the translation of ancient texts and their transmission to the Muslim world; the development of a systematic philosophy in Islam; theology, mysticism and the development of Sufism; Islam's interaction with western philosophy and theology; contemporary trends. This accessible book should be of interest to students, scholars, and all those interested in broadening their knowledge of the Islamic tradition.
