• Reviews

“Although such traditional figures as Farabi, Ibn Sina, Ghazzali, Ibn Rushd have been studied extensively, Anthony Booth’s analytical approach brings to light previously understudied aspects of these major figures. To unite the analytical side of several major Islamic philosophers in one volume is invaluable for students and scholars in the field.” (Mehdi Aminrazavi, Professor of Philosophy and Religion, University of Mary Washington, USA)
