The Routledge Companion to Islamic Philosophy

"Routledge Companion to Islamic Philosophy, edited by Taylor and López-Farjeat, is a wonderful collection of contemporary secondary sources on Islamic philosophy. It is a real boon not only for the specialists, but also for the scholars and students of the history of philosophy, especially those interested in ancient and medieval traditions."

Mohammad Azadpur, San Francisco State University, USA

"In what promises to be a highly acclaimed volume, the editors have brought together a collection of essays that address the enduring questions in the Islamic philosophical tradition. Some of the most accomplished philosophers working in the field have treated most of the traditional topics and areas in Islamic philosophy; thereby making a major contribution to the growing field."

Mehdi Aminrazavi, University of Mary Washington, USA

"Classical Islamic philosophy has focused for many years on a few main figures, such as Avicenna, Averroes or Ibn Khaldun and on key issues such as the eternity of creation or human immortality. This vision is not wrong but partial. The book fills the absences of former histories with seven sections devoted to subjects stretching from philosophical issues in Islamic revelation to philosophy of mind in Islamic philosophy. Taylor and López-Farjeat, the editors of the volume, have succeeded in bringing into the study matters of the Islamic tradition which continue to cause philosophical challenges today."

Josep Puig Montada, Complutense University of Madrid, Spain

"This is a well-informed guide through a long tradition of thought, a book teachers and students will want to keep within reach as they strive for greater familiarity with the larger domain of Islamic philosophy and its related disciplines."

Charles E. Butterworth, University of Maryland, USA
