This description of the contribution of the Muslim countries to world culture reaches from the beginnings of Islam to the present day. The geographical area covered comprises primarily Southern and Central Asia, and northern and equatorial Africa; however pertinent information concerning both North and South America is provided, as well as of Europe.

This work is not a hastily compiled volume. The author has investigated these areas of the world for decades, and taught related courses in well-known universities in the United States and Canada. His lecture notes were constantly updated through reading, contacts with natives of the area, as well as travel, research and lecturing in many of the countries discussed. The book you have before you is the result of synthesizing all these activities.

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.

This revised edition of the critically acclaimed collection of essays by today's most eloquent authority on the philosophy of religion explores the limits of science.

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.

Islamic Philosophy from Its Origin to the Present offers a comprehensive overview of Islamic philosophy from the ninth century to the present day. As Seyyed Hossein Nasr attests, within this tradition, philosophizing is done in a world in which prophecy is the central reality of life—a reality related not only to the realms of action and ethics but also to the realm of knowledge.
