The study of Islamic philosophy is in a new and exciting phase. Both the traditional canon of Islamic philosophers and the historical narrative of Islamic philosophy are currently being thoroughly revised.
While fifteenth-century Western studies focus primarily on the period from the ninth to the twelfth century, this edition of the Oxford Handbook devotes equal attention to each century, from the ninth to the twentieth.
Unique to this handbook is that the 30 chapters are work-oriented, not person- or theme-oriented. This makes optimal use of recent reprints and translations, thereby renewing discussion and interest around the Islamic philosophical canon.
