Persia is home to one of the few civilizations in the world that has had a continuous tradition of philosophical thought for over two and a half millennia. As Islamic theology developed in the Middle Ages, many of its schools interacted with existing Persian philosophical currents and evolved into a distinctive philosophical "Kalam" or dogmatic theology. Numerous Persions were among the definitive masters of both Shi'i and Sunni theologians--chiefly Al-Ghazzali and Fakhr al-Din Al-Razi, who are prominently represented in this book. Important selections from both Shi'i and Sunni theological schools (including Mu'tazila and Ash'ariyya) are included in the volume, many of which have never before been available in translation in the West until now.READ MORE >> | |||
