Book Synopsis The Prophet and the Age of the Caliphates by : Hugh Kennedy
Download or read book The Prophet and the Age of the Caliphates written by Hugh Kennedy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Prophet and the Age of Caliphates is an accessible history of the Near East from c.600-1050AD, the period in which Islamic society was formed. Beginning with the life of Muhammad and the birth of Islam, Hugh Kennedy goes on to explore the great Arab conquests of the seventh century and the golden age of the Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates when the world of Islam was politically and culturally far more developed than the West. The arrival of the Seljuk Turks and the period of political fragmentation which followed shattered this early unity, never to be recovered. This new edition is fully updated to take into account the considerable amount of new research on early Islam, and contains a completely revised bibliography. Based on extensive reading of the original Arabic sources, Kennedy breaks away from the Orientalist tradition of seeing early Islamic history as a series of ephemeral rulers and pointless battles by drawing attention to underlying long term social and economic processes. The Prophet and the Age of Caliphates deals with issues of continuing and increasing relevance in the twenty-first century, when it is, perhaps, more important than ever to understand the early development of the Islamic world. Students and scholars of early Islamic history will find this book a clear, informative and readable introduction to the subject.
Download or read book Prophecy in Islam written by F Rahman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1958. This volume brings into focus an area of Islamic religio-philosophical thought to which relatively little attention has been paid by modern scholars of Muslim thought. The importance of the subject lies in the fact that it constitutes a central point at the confrontation of the traditional Islamic and Hellenic thought currents.
Book Synopsis Arabic Thought and Islamic Societies (RLE Politics of Islam) by : Aziz Al-Azmeh
Download or read book Arabic Thought and Islamic Societies (RLE Politics of Islam) written by Aziz Al-Azmeh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a study of the structure and composition of the official learning current in medieval Arabic culture. This comprises natural sciences both exoteric and esoteric (medicine, alchemy, astrology and others), traditional and religious sciences (such as theology, exegesis and grammar), philosophical sciences such as metaphysics and ethics, in addition to technical disciplines like political theory and medicine, and other fields of intellectual endeavour. The book identifies and develops a number of conceptual elements common to the various areas of official Arabic scientific discourse, and shows how these elements integrate these disparate sciences into an historical epistemic unity. The specific profile of each of these different sciences is described, in terms of its conceptual content, but especially with reference to its historical circumstances. These are seen to be embodied in a number of institutional supports, both intellectual and social: paradigms, schools of thought, institutions of learning, pedagogic techniques, and a body of professionals, all of which combine to form definite, albeit ever renewed, traditions of learning. Finally, an attempt is made to relate Arabic scientific knowledge in the Middle Ages to patterns of scientific and political authority. First published in 1986.

Book Synopsis The Soul and its Powers by : Wayne Bloomquist
Download or read book The Soul and its Powers written by Wayne Bloomquist and published by Lotus Press. This book was released on 1992-06-15 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Man has been searching for the meaning of life even from before the birth of Christ. Various religious/spiritual disciplines have developed over the centuries. But inevitably the solution was to escape from life towards a nirvana or a heaven that gave peace and salvation but left this earth unchanged. The Mother and Sri Aurobindo had a contrary view however, formulated upon their experiences and realizations. There is more to life than to escape from it.
