About the Author:
Oliver Leaman is Professor of Philosophy at Liverpool John Moores University. He is the co-editor of Routledge History of Islamic Philosophy (1996) and History of Jewish Philosophy (1997).
Review:
"The discussions of Islamic philosophy are some of the best parts of the book, and the author demonstrates a keen understanding of the works of ibn Rushd, ibn Sina, alGhazzali, and al-Suhrawardi. References to Islamic concepts make clear connections to Greek philosophical sources-a helpful touchstone for those grounded in the Western tradition."
