Description

Explore the profound intellectual legacy of the Brethren of Purity (Ikhwan al Safa) with this academic study from Routledge. This book provides an essential introduction to a tenth or eleventh century group that holds significant historical importance in the Arab world, comparable to major Western thinkers. Ian Netton examines the core writings of the Brethren, looking at how their thought was shaped by the philosophies of Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle, and the Neoplatonists. The text goes beyond pure philosophy to trace how Judaism and Christianity influenced their worldview. Readers will encounter a compelling argument that challenges traditional views, as the author suggests the Brethren of Purity may not have belonged to the Ismaili branch of Islam as is commonly believed. This work is an important resource for students and historians interested in world history and the development of philosophical thought.
