Description

Explore a dynamic era of medieval Islam through the lens of its most influential thinkers. This work by Routledge examines the period from the late 9th to the early 11th century, focusing on the intellectual developments that shaped Islamic thought. At the center of this study is al-Farabi, a philosopher known as 'the Second Master' following Aristotle. The book traces the development of a distinct school of thought established by al-Farabi, where subsequent thinkers built upon and expanded his original ideas. By investigating the work of five principal thinkers, the text provides a deep look into the fundamental questions of epistemology and the theory of knowledge. This study fills a significant gap in the existing literature, offering a clear perspective on how these philosophers approached the nature of understanding and truth during this transformative historical period.
