The Oxford Handbook of Islamic Philosophy (Oxford Handbooks)

The Study Of Islamic Philosophy Has Entered A New And Exciting Phase In The Last Few Years. Both The Received Canon Of Islamic Philosophers And The Narrative Of The Course Of Islamic Philosophy Are In The Process Of Being Radically Questioned And Revised. Most Twentieth-century Western Scholarship On Arabic Or Islamic Philosophy Has Focused On The Period From The Ninth Century To The Twelfth. It Is A Measure Of The Transformation That Is Currently Underway In The Field That, Unlike Other Reference Works, The Oxford Handbook Has Striven To Give Roughly Equal Weight To Every Century, From The Ninth To The Twentieth. The Handbook Is Also Unique In That Its 30 Chapters Are Work-centered Rather Than Person- Or Theme-centered, In Particular Taking Advantage Of Recent New Editions And Translations That Have Renewed Interest And Debate Around The Islamic Philosophical Canon. The Oxford Handbook Of Islamic Philosophy Gives Both The Advanced Student And Active Scholar In Islamic Philosophy, Theology, And Intellectual History, A Strong Sense Of What A Work In Islamic Philosophy Looks Like And A Deep View Of The Issues, Concepts, And Arguments That Are At Stake. Most Importantly, It Provides An Up-to-date Portrait Of Contemporary Scholarship On Islamic Philosophy.--book Description, Amazon.com.

Both the received canon of Islamic philosophers and the grand narrative of the course of Islamic philosophy are in the process of being radically questioned and revised. The bulk of twentieth-century Western scholarship on Arabic or Islamic philosophy focused on the period from the ninth century to the twelfth. It is a measure of the transformation that is currently underway in the field that the present __Handbook__ gives roughly equal weight to every century from the ninth to the twentieth. The __Handbook__ differs from previous overviews in another significant way: It is work-centered rather than person- or theme-centered. This format is intended to give readers a better sense of what a work in Islamic philosophy looks like, and of the issues, concepts, and arguments that are at play in works belonging to various periods and subfields within Islamic philosophy.
