Description

Greek Thought, Arabic Culture examines the transformative translation movement that flourished in Baghdad from the 8th to 10th centuries, when Greek intellectual works spanning astrology, alchemy, physics, botany and medicine were systematically rendered into Arabic. This scholarly work explores the social, political and ideological conditions that enabled the 'Abbasid dynasty to undertake an unprecedented cultural exchange, establishing Baghdad as a centre of knowledge preservation and synthesis. The book traces how Greek philosophical and scientific traditions were adapted and integrated into Arabic intellectual life, shaping the development of Islamic scholarship during the formative centuries of 'Abbasid society. Essential for understanding the crucial role of translation in transmitting classical knowledge and how cross-cultural intellectual dialogue shaped medieval civilisation in both the Islamic world and beyond.
