Description

Explore the life and mind of one of the most significant figures in Islamic intellectual history. In Truth and Narrative: The Untimely Thoughts of 'Ayn al-Qudat, Hamid Dabashi provides a deep look at a 12th-century thinker who has been called the true father of deconstructionism. Despite his massive influence, 'Ayn al-Qudat remains largely unknown to English-speaking readers, making this study an essential resource for students of history and philosophy. This book moves beyond simple labels. Instead of viewing him through the narrow lens of a mystic, philosopher, theologian, poet, or social critic, Prof. Dabashi reveals the true dynamism of his intellect. You will discover the subversive nature of his work and how his thoughts challenge traditional categorizations. This analysis offers a fresh perspective on a seminal writer, helping to bridge the gap in modern understanding of medieval Islamic thought.
