History of Islamic Philosophy

Seyyed Hossein Nasr, and Oliver Leaman

There are a variety of possible approaches to the question of what a history of Islamic philosophy should be. Until now, the most common approach has been to treat leading individual thinkers and at best put them within the context of their own times. There are advantages to this approach in that it makes leading intellectual figures well known and helps relate Islamic philosophy to other aspects of the culture of the period in question. This approach tends often, however, to concentrate more on individual thinkers than on philosophical ideas, and there is the danger of treating Islamic philosophy as a constituent of the history of ideas rather than as part of the history of philosophy. As editors of these volumes we very much view Islamic philosophy as a living philosophical tradition while, of course, accepting its relation to other intellectual developments of Islamic civilization. Islamic philosophy in fact deals with conceptual issues which are not tied to a particular author or period, and which have universal import.
