Philosophers throughout the Islamic world, from the 8th century until today, engaged in sophisticated debates on a wide range of topics, from logic and psychology to metaphysics, theology, and politics, developing novel arguments and theories about scientific method, the human soul, and the creation of the world. In this course we will consider how philosophers in the Islamic world approached these questions as well as engaged in a series of cultural exchanges: the translation of Greek philosophy into Arabic with the help of Syrian Christians, the vibrant intellectual milieu among Jewish and Muslim authors in Islamic Spain, the translation of Arabic philosophy into Latin, and European colonialism.
