Description
The classification of knowledge is a recurring theme in Islamic scholarship. Successive generations of Muslim scholars, from alKindi in the ninth century to Shah Waliallah of Delhi in the eighteenth century, have devoted considerable efforts to the exposition of this theme. The lives and the ideas of the three thinkers discussed in Classification of Knowledge in Islam alFarabi (870950AD), alGhazzali (10581111AD) and Qutb alDin alShirazi (12361311AD) cover the pivotal period of Islamic history from the first flourishing of the philosophical sciences to the sacking of Baghdad by the Mongols. In addition, each of these three thinkers was either a founder or an eminent representative of a major intellectual school in Islam. AlFarabi was the founder and one of the most prominent representatives of the mashshai (Peripatetic) school of philosopherscientists. AlGhazzali is still recognised as the most famous theologian/sufi of Islam. Qutb alDin alShirazi represents the ishraqi (Illuminationists) school of philosophy. Prof. Osman Bakars Classification of Knowledge in Islam is the first work of its kind in the English language and is based on extensive scholarships and reference to the original texts.
