Recenzii

In this fascinating work, Oliver Leaman provides an accessible yet erudite commentary on the relationship between the Qur'an and philosophy as viewed by various Muslim thinkers. As he thoroughly demonstrates, reflection on the text of the Qur'an has frequently resulted in rich philosophical ruminations by many Muslim intellectuals, both classical and modern. Anyone interested in exploring philosophical issues raised by reading the Qur'an will find this work very satisfying.
