Philosophy, Religion and Political Thought in Medieval Islam


John Kilcullen

This is an area in which I have no expertise, but I have made some attempt to inform myself and the following may be of some use:

Religion and Philosophy: Al Ghazali vs. Averroes
Al Ghazali and Averroes (continued)
Government: All-Farabi, Avicenna, Averroes
Social Philosophy: Ibn Khaldun

Other internet resources:
See Peter King, Philosophy around the Web: Individual Philosophers
Averroes on religion and philosophy
muslimphilosophy.com links on Al Farabi
ghazali.org website on Al Ghazali
Al Ghazali The Deliverance, text
