505	2		_aPhilosophy written in Arabic and in Islamic world represents one of the great traditions of Western Philosphy. Inspired by Greek Philosophical works and the indigenous ideas of Islamic theology Arabic Philosophers from the ninth century onwards put forward ideas of great philosophical and historical importance. This collection of essays, by some of the leading scholars in Arabic Philosophy provides an introduction to the field by way of chapters devoted to individual thinkers or groups especially during the classical period from the ninth to the twelfth centuries. It also includes chapters on areas of Philosophical enquiry across the tradition, such as ethics and Metaphysics. Finally, it includes chapters on later Islamic thought, and on the connections between Arabic Philosophy and Greek, Jewish and Latin Philosophy. The volume also includes a useful bibliography and a chronology of the most important Arabic thinkers.
