- Authors
Druart, Thérèse-Anne
- Abstract
Luis Xavier López-Farjeat's book, "Classical Islamic Philosophy: A Thematic Introduction," offers a detailed exploration of the lively philosophical debates that took place in the Islamic lands. The book covers six main themes, including theology, logic, natural science, metaphysics, psychology, and ethics. López-Farjeat provides a chronological account of the evolution of these debates, highlighting the Greek background and the integration of philosophical elements from other disciplines, such as theology. The book is comprehensive and requires close reading, but it offers valuable insights into the richness and depth of Islamic-Arabic thinking.
