| In the Islamic Golden Age (800-1400 CE), philosophers such as al-Farabi, Avicenna, al-Ghazali, and Averroes made enormous contributions to every aspect of philosophy, including metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, political philosophy, and philosophical theology. But philosophy in the Islamic world did not end with Averroes. It continued to flourish in Muslim Eastern countries, in particular Persia and India, with the works of such philosophers as Suhrawardi and Mu Ila Sadra. In the contemporary era, drawing on their rich tradition, Muslim philosophers such as Muhammad Iqbal, Seyyed Hossein Nasr, and Amina Wadud continue to tackle social, philosophical, and theological issues in the Islamic world. In this course, we will discuss the works of Muslim philosophers from the Golden Age to the present day. Course Information: Same as ARAB 222 and RELS 222. Prerequisite(s): One non-logic course in philosophy or consent of the instructor. | ||||||||

| Modern Islam: Themes & Debates "Modern Islam: Select Themes and Debates" The Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad in the 7th century. While a lot of contemporary practices and beliefs can be traced to early texts and behaviors of the early Muslim community, modern Muslims continue to interpret, debate and think about their religion in response to the challenges and opportunities of the modern world. This course investigates some of these modern Islamic practices through a thematic approach. We discuss political Islam, Islamic feminism, Sufism (mysticism), legal authority transmission, and Islam and the media, among others. Course Information: May be repeated if topics vary.
