Böcker av Frank (Professor of Islamic Studies Griffel

In this monumental new work, Frank Griffel argues that what he calls the "post-classical" period of Islamic philosophy has been unjustly maligned and neglected by previous generations of scholars. The Formation of Post-Classical Philosophy in Islam is a comprehensive study of the far-reaching changes that led to a re-shaping of the philosophical discourse in Islam during the twelfth century, when Muslim thinkers began to produce books in a new genre ofphilosophical literature they called "¿ikma."

A comprehensive study of Muslim thinker al-Ghazali's life and his understanding of cosmology-how God creates things and events in the world, how human acts relate to God's power, and how the universe is structured.
