Description: Islamic Philosophy : An Introduction, Paperback by Leaman, Oliver, ISBN 0745645992, ISBN-13 9780745645995, Brand New, Free shipping in the US In his earlier An Introduction to Classical Islamic Philosophy, Leaman (philosophy, U. of Kentucky) prioritized Islamic philosophy in the Peripatetic or Greek tradition. He still finds this strain of Islamic philosophy the most important, but has also come to see the other two main schools--the mystical, or Sufi, school and the illuminationist, or ishraqi school--as integral to the entire enterprise of Islamic philosophy and has therefore incorporated greater consideration of these strains into this second introductory text. Presupposing no knowledge of either Islam or philosophy, he begins with a brief history of Islamic philosophy that includes discussion of basic concepts of Islam and then proceeds to describe the main controversies of Islamic philosophy, following up with chapters on knowledge, mysticism, ontology, ethics, politics, the question of the transmission of ideas, language, contemporary Islamic philosophy, and the prospects for an Islamic enlightenment.
