This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies in Islamic Civilization draws upon the works of Western scholars to make the case that without the tremendous contribution of the Muslim world there would have been no Renaissance in Europe. For almost a thousand years Islam was arguably one of the leading civilizations of the world spanning a geographic area greater than any other. It eliminated social distinctions between classes and races, made clear that people should enjoy the bounties of the earth provided they did not ignore morals and ethics, and rescued knowledge that would have been lost, if not forever, then at least for centuries. The genius of its scholars triggered the intellectual tradition of Europe and for over seven hundred years its language, Arabic, was the international language of science. Strange then that its legacy lies largely ignored and buried in time. In the words of Aldous Huxley, “Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth. By simply not mentioning certain subjects... propagandists have influenced opinion much more effectively than they could have by the most eloquent denunciations.” Studies in Islamic Civilization is a compelling attempt to redress this wrong and restore the historical truths of a “golden age” that ushered in the Islamic renaissance, and as a by-product that of the West. In doing so it gives a bird’s eye view of the achievements of a culture that at its height was considered the model of human progress and development. (2010).

Book Synopsis Contemporary Bioethics by : Mohammed Ali Al-Bar
Download or read book Contemporary Bioethics written by Mohammed Ali Al-Bar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-05-27 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the common principles of morality and ethics derived from divinely endowed intuitive reason through the creation of al-fitr' a (nature) and human intellect (al-‘aql). Biomedical topics are presented and ethical issues related to topics such as genetic testing, assisted reproduction and organ transplantation are discussed. Whereas these natural sources are God’s special gifts to human beings, God’s revelation as given to the prophets is the supernatural source of divine guidance through which human communities have been guided at all times through history. The second part of the book concentrates on the objectives of Islamic religious practice – the maqa' sid – which include: Preservation of Faith, Preservation of Life, Preservation of Mind (intellect and reason), Preservation of Progeny (al-nasl) and Preservation of Property. Lastly, the third part of the book discusses selected topical issues, including abortion, assisted reproduction devices, genetics, organ transplantation, brain death and end-of-life aspects. For each topic, the current medical evidence is followed by a detailed discussion of the ethical issues involved.
Book Synopsis Islamic Science and the Making of the European Renaissance by : George Saliba
Download or read book Islamic Science and the Making of the European Renaissance written by George Saliba and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2011-01-21 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise and fall of the Islamic scientific tradition, and the relationship of Islamic science to European science during the Renaissance. The Islamic scientific tradition has been described many times in accounts of Islamic civilization and general histories of science, with most authors tracing its beginnings to the appropriation of ideas from other ancient civilizations—the Greeks in particular. In this thought-provoking and original book, George Saliba argues that, contrary to the generally accepted view, the foundations of Islamic scientific thought were laid well before Greek sources were formally translated into Arabic in the ninth century. Drawing on an account by the tenth-century intellectual historian Ibn al-Naidm that is ignored by most modern scholars, Saliba suggests that early translations from mainly Persian and Greek sources outlining elementary scientific ideas for the use of government departments were the impetus for the development of the Islamic scientific tradition. He argues further that there was an organic relationship between the Islamic scientific thought that developed in the later centuries and the science that came into being in Europe during the Renaissance. Saliba outlines the conventional accounts of Islamic science, then discusses their shortcomings and proposes an alternate narrative. Using astronomy as a template for tracing the progress of science in Islamic civilization, Saliba demonstrates the originality of Islamic scientific thought. He details the innovations (including new mathematical tools) made by the Islamic astronomers from the thirteenth to sixteenth centuries, and offers evidence that Copernicus could have known of and drawn on their work. Rather than viewing the rise and fall of Islamic science from the often-narrated perspectives of politics and religion, Saliba focuses on the scientific production itself and the complex social, economic, and intellectual conditions that made it possible.
Book Synopsis The Contributions of Islamic Civilization to Medicine: the Past and the Present by : Mahmood Hai
Download or read book The Contributions of Islamic Civilization to Medicine: the Past and the Present written by Mahmood Hai and published by . This book was released on 2023-12-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a wonderful, informative collection of essays tracing the roots of modern medicine back to an Islamic Golden Age. It opens with an insightful, contextualizing essay by Georgetown's Distinguished University Professor, Dr. John Esposito. With that one exception, the essayists are neither historians nor historiographers. Rather, they are contemporary Muslim scientists and physicians, whose expertise and point of view uniquely qualify them for the task. The fellow physician who inspired their work, Dr. Hussain Nagamia, is no longer with us, but his personal passion for the topic permeates these pages. His essay, near the start of the book, frames everything that follows. Through rare texts and global travel, Dr. Nagamia spent decades pursuing a cohort of medieval physicians and scholars working in the long millennium of Islamic civilization. The era began eight centuries before the European Renaissance and ended overlapping it. Working in centers of learning like Baghdad and Cairo, these scholarly practitioners translated, critiqued, transcended, and transformed the early works of classical medical authorities, including Hippocrates and Galen, and quickly surpassed them. Much of this origin story is recounted in the book's multi-part Introduction by Dr. Mahmood Hai, a noted urologist and friend of Dr. Nagamia's. His well-ordered segments synthesize thousands of factoids into a readable, digestible, thoroughly illuminating presentation of a group of tireless physicians and medical philosophers who, between the 7th and 15th centuries, established a practice of medicine based on observation and the scientific method. It focuses on thirty-one groundbreaking exemplars, whose names, based on their accomplishments, ought to be household words today. Presented in thumbnail bio-sketches, these medieval explorers laid the groundwork for accurate diagnoses of thousands of maladies, for a pharmacopeia to treat them, for a mathematical understanding of optics, an imaginatively precise vision of human anatomy, of pulmonary circulation, and the proposition of an overall regimen designed to maintain health and restore it from weakness. Building on each others' insights over time, they successfully developed an approach to public health that led to the world's first real hospitals, and to the development of life-saving surgeries-- all based on a single, prophetic principle, in essence an article of faith: that no disease exists for which there is not also a cure. This able Introduction for the general reader paves the way for five further essays, three of them focused in greater detail on philosophical and ethical topics, including an exploration of the principles of hygiene, a study of the origins of modern medical ethics, and an examination of medieval contributions to the psychology of medicine and its practice. The fourth essay supplies a long-awaited study of Muslim female physicians and healthcare providers in Islamic History. The final essay, continuing a millennial trajectory of revolutionary thought and invention, introduces readers to a representative handful of modern Muslim medical professionals and their innovative contributions to various domains of medicine today.
