History of Islamic Philosophers in the East and the West

Section: Political books

Number of pages: 448 pages

In this book, the author reviews the history of Islamic philosophy in the East and the West, by narrating its time periods and its transition from one place to another, in the context of the political transformations that occurred to the authorities or groups; this is because the philosophy that began to crystallize with the beginning of the Abbasid era cannot be separated from the cultural spaces, or from the biography of the philosopher, his aspirations, his environment, and his vision of life. The book, which the author worked on for a period of nearly eighteen years spent in research, reading, and documentation, talks about philosophers and the history of Islamic philosophizing, from Al-Kindi to Ibn Khaldun.
