Primarily written for young readers, this book deals with the most important period in the Islamic history. The author has a PhD from University of Michigan. Currently he is Associate Professor of History at the International Islamic University, Kuala Lumpur.
This book is an attack on the scientism of the modern world. In these beautiful and profound pages Rene Guenon looks back to an ancient Wisdom, once common to both East and West, but now almost entirely lost. Contemporary civilization itself --- with its industrial societies and illusory notions of progress -- is his target.
This book investigates differences between East and West in connection with the preservation of traditional principles, with a special view to envisioning how such differences affect the possibilities for the restitution of such principles in each domain. Special attention is given to various aberrant 'spiritualities' in the West, and how they might be overcome by reference to teachinigs still extant in the East, and a rejuvenation of what remains in the West of organizations retaining at least a core of the metaphysical teachings that were in full bloom in the medieval West.
The book deals with the fundamental question of the nature of `worldview' according to Islam.
This well-known lexicon contains all the classical Arabic words, their derivatives, and their usages. Includes grammatical and critical comments and examples in prose and verse.
Islamic philosophy has often been treated as mainly of historical interest, belonging to the history of ideas rather than to philosophy.
This volume challenges this belief. The Encyclopaedia of Islamic Philosophy is made up entirely of new essays by a distinguished list of writers. They provide detailed discussions of the most important thinkers and the key concepts in Islamic philosophy, from earliest times right up to the present day, as well as a series of discussions of the cultural and religious background. This book is out of print. A few copies left.
