An Introduction to the History of Islamic Philosophy (Vol.I)

Philosophy is very deep-rooted in Islamic history and culture, but given the works that have been written so far to identify the historical course of this rich tradition, it shows that there is still a long way to go. Some of these works have been compiled under the influence of monotheism and specific attitudes of Orientalists; some are nothing more than the history of philosophers; some reports are pure and lack analytical and critical aspects, and some are very concise. It is very difficult to have a deep knowledge of the philosophical tradition in the Islamic world without having research that has explained the historical course of this tradition in an analytical and comprehensive way. In this book, a brief, illustrative, comprehensive, analytical-critical picture of the course of Islamic philosophy is presented, far from prejudice and monotony. Prominent philosophers, important philosophical developments and schools, as well as sciences related to philosophy, namely logic, theology, and mysticism, have also been the focus of attention.
