AN INTRODUCTION TO

CLASSICAL ISLAMIC

PHILOSOPHY

Islamic philosophy is a unique and fascinating form of thought,

and particular interest lies in its classical (Greek-influenced) period,

when many of the ideas of Greek philosophy were used to explore

the issues and theoretical problems which arise in trying to under-

stand the Qur’¯an and Islamic practice. In this revised and expanded

edition of his classic introductory work, Oliver Leaman examines

the distinctive features of classical Islamic philosophy and offers

detailed accounts of major individual thinkers. In contrast to many

previous studies that have treated this subject as only of historical

interest, he offers analysis of the key arguments within Islamic phi-

losophy so that the reader can engage with them and assess their

strengths and weaknesses. His book will interest a wide range of

readers in philosophy, religious studies and Islamic studies.

OLIVER LEAMAN is Professor of Philosophy at the University of

Kentucky. He has written extensively on Islamic philosophy and is

the author of A brief introduction to Islamic philosophy (1999). He is the

editor of Friendship east and west: philosophical perspectives (1996) and

The future of philosophy (1998)and co-editor of the History of Islamic

philosophy (1996) and the History of Jewish philosophy (1997).
