And how did Muslim philosophers develop these visions in light of Islamic philosophy and rational sciences? In this book, Mahmoud Qassem takes us on an intellectual journey extending from Plato and Aristotle to Al-Farabi, Ibn Sina, and Al-Ghazali, reviewing the development of philosophical concepts about the nature of the soul, the relationship between the mind and the spirit, and the role of thought in refining humans. The book reveals how Islamic philosophy was not merely a recipient of Greek thought, but its philosophers provided original contributions that left their mark on the history of human thought.
