It uniquely integrates Jewish, Christian, and Muslim thinkers, covering major figures like Avicenna and Averroes, as well as lesser-known philosophers and the intersection of theology, mysticism, and science. Ideal for readers seeking a comprehensive, interdisciplinary understanding of Islamic philosophy’s rich legacy. ## Description The latest in the series based on the popular History of Philosophy podcast, this volume presents the first full history of philosophy in the Islamic world for a broad readership. It takes an approach unprecedented among introductions to this subject, by providing full coverage of Jewish and Christian thinkers as well as Muslims, and by taking the story of philosophy from its beginnings in the world of early Islam all the way through to the twentieth century. Major figures like Avicenna, Averroes, and Maimonides are covered in great detail, but the book also looks at less familiar thinkers, including women philosophers. Attention is also given to the philosophical relevance of Islamic theology (kalam) and mysticism--the Sufi tradition within Islam, and Kabbalah among Jews--and to science, with chapters on disciplines like optics and astronomy. The book is divided into three sections, with the first looking at the first blossoming of Islamic theology and responses to the Greek philosophical tradition in the world of Arabic learning. This 'formative period' culminates with the work of Avicenna, the pivotal figure to whom most later thinkers feel they must respond. The second part of the book discusses philosophy in Muslim Spain (Andalusia), where Jewish philosophers come to the fore, though this is also the setting for such thinkers as Averroes and Ibn Arabi. Finally, a third section looks in unusual detail at later developments, touching on philosophy in the Ottoman, Mughal, and Safavid empires and showing how thinkers in the nineteenth to the twentieth century were still concerned to respond to the ideas that had animated philosophy in the Islamic world for centuries, while also responding to political and intellectual challenges from the European colonial powers. Review: Consigliato - Arrivato prima del tempo Fedelissimo all immagine Review: Pay attention to the title - I've read about a quarter. Generally with books like this I don't gobble it up cover to cover right away. I guess I just expected strictly Islamic philosophy, it does say "of the Islamic world". It's more historical text, speaks of Judaism and early Christians, some about early Greek philosophers. As I progress it may be exactly what I wanted. I wanted what Muslims believe and why. It seems to round about get there. I'm not mad about it, keeping it. Just figured I would throw it out there that it isn't strictly about Islam. ## Features - Binding: paperback - Language: english - Manufacturer: Oxford University Press - Brand: Oxford university press - Publication date: 2018-05-31T00:00:01Z - Brand: OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #45,274 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #7 in Islamic & Arab Philosophy #41 in Religious Philosophy #165 in Theology | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 87 Reviews | ## Images ![Philosophy in the Islamic World: A history of philosophy without any gaps, Volume 3 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61WsgNFIuTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Consigliato *by L***I on 29 October 2025* Arrivato prima del tempo Fedelissimo all immagine ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pay attention to the title *by J***P on 26 May 2024* I've read about a quarter.

The Islamic world is not monolithic and to attempt to establish its philosophy in a single book was wild goose chase. Nevertheless, I'll say it was an interesting. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/647733273-philosophy-in-the-islamic-world-a-history-of-philosophy-without](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/647733273-philosophy-in-the-islamic-world-a-history-of-philosophy-without) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-22*
