‘I am sorry to say that until now, philosophers such as Alkindi and Algazel have only been names to me, so it is about time I read something about their ideas.’
Rick Lewis, Editor-in-Chief; Philosophy Now, London.

'History of Islamic Philosophy, with view to Greek philosophy and early history of Islam is a very important project..... Today scholars realize in order to better understand Eastern Culture we need to investigate their history, philosophy and religion in their own terms.'
Report: University of Rochester Press; New York.

‘Very occasionally a book appears which provides a perfect bridge between amateurs and professionals. This event is usually less likely to happen in the somewhat arcane field of philosophy and almost beyond concept in the English speaking world when the subject is entwined with the history of Islam... I found this work extraordinarily engrossing; the historical input and research are prodigious and are provided for objectively and often with dry wit. The finer points of philosophical issues are also discussed and presented to enable anyone, whether a scholar or not, Arabic or Westerner, to understand the truths these ancients sought. Due to this exposition, especially in the light of later experience, many of the propositions posited still have the capacity to provoke thought. Some of the questions raised, even in the 21st. century, remain unanswered. Men and women obviously still have a great deal more to learn.’
