In the history of philosophy, few topics are so relevant to today's cultural and political landscape as philosophy in the Islamic world. Yet, this remains one of the lesser-known philosophical traditions. In this Very Short Introduction, Peter Adamson explores the history of philosophy among Muslims, Jews, and Christians living in Islamic lands, from its historical background to thinkers in the twentieth century.

Introducing the main philosophical themes of the Islamic world, Adamson integrates ideas from the Islamic and Abrahamic faiths to consider the broad philosophical questions that continue to invite debate: What is the relationship between reason and religious belief? What is the possibility of proving God's existence? What is the nature of knowledge? Drawing on the most recent research in the field, this book challenges the assumption of the cultural decline of philosophy and science in the Islamic world by demonstrating its rich heritage and overlap with other faiths and philosophies.

Very soft and comfy, but not thick at all
Color: Sherpa Green, Size: King, Color: Sherpa Green, Size: King
The blanket is very soft and comfortable. Its also the correct size. However We were looking for something thicker and heavier for a winter blanket. This isn't that. Its pretty thin and lightweight. Fine for spring - fall but not great for winter. We ended up using it underneath our other comforter. It also has an awful smell when you first open it and it takes a few days for that smell to wear off.

Sooo soft
Color: Sherpa Red, Size: King
Was not expecting for this comforter to be this soft, true red in color. Even after washing it held up so well. It’s very warm for those cozy nights.
