It takes an approach unprecedented among introductions to this subject  by providing full coverage of Jewish and Christian thinkers as well as Muslims  and by taking the story of philosophy from its beginnings in the world of early Islam all the way through to the twentieth century. Major figures like Avicenna  Averroes  and Maimonides are covered in great detail  but the book also looks at less familiar thinkers  including women philosophers. Attention is also given to the philosophical relevance of Islamic theology (kalam) and mysticism--the Sufi tradition within Islam  and Kabbalah among Jews--and to science  with chapters on disciplines like optics and astronomy. The book is divided into three sections  with the first looking at the first blossoming of Islamic theology and responses to the Greek philosophical tradition in the world of Arabic learning. This formative period culminates with the work of Avicenna  the pivotal figure to whom most later thinkers feel they must respond. The second part of the book discusses philosophy in Muslim Spain (Andalusia)  where Jewish philosophers come to the fore  though this is also the setting for such thinkers as Averroes and Ibn Arabi. Finally  a third section looks in unusual detail at later developments  touching on philosophy in the Ottoman  Mughal  and Safavid empires and showing how thinkers in the nineteenth to the twentieth century were still concerned to respond to the ideas that had animated philosophy in the Islamic world for centuries  while also responding to political and intellectual challenges from the European colonial powers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665874313269,"sku":"ByrdShop_0199577498","price":30.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780199577491.jpg?v=1782411731","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/philosophy-in-the-islamic-world-a-history-of-philosophy-without-any-gaps-volume-3-9780199577491","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
