Philosophy written in Arabic and in the Islamic world represents one of the great traditions of Western philosophy. Inspired by Greek philosophical works and the indigenous ideas of Islamic theology, Arabic philosophers from the ninth century onwards put forward ideas of great philosophical and historical importance. This collection of essays, by some of the leading scholars in Arabic philosophy, provides an introduction to the field by way of chapters devoted to individual thinkers (such as al-Farabi, Avicenna and Averroes) or groups, especially during the 'classical' period from the ninth to the twelfth centuries. It also includes chapters on areas of philosophical inquiry across the tradition, such as ethics and metaphysics. Finally, it includes chapters on later Islamic thought, and on the connections between Arabic philosophy and Greek, Jewish, and Latin philosophy. The volume also includes a useful bibliography and a chronology of the most important Arabic thinkers.

Contrairement à ce que l’on croit généralement, la philosophie arabe n’est pas une entité isolée, inassimilable à l’histoire de la philosophie occidentale, pas plus qu’une simple traduction en arabe de la philosophie de langue grecque. Elle se révèle être un moment essentiel de l’histoire de la philosophie qui a durablement marqué toute la pensée occidentale qui lui a succédé et continue d’exercer son influence dans le monde arabe et la pensée contemporaine. Réunissant les grands textes de la philosophie arabe, qui contribuèrent à fonder la pensée occidentale, ainsi que d’autres tout aussi majeurs mais moins connus, cette anthologie montre que le monde arabo-musulman médiéval s’était déjà emparé des grandes problématiques rationnelles qui allaient fleurir en Occident : élaboration d’une philosophie politique indépendante de la doctrine religieuse, recherches en logique, distinction de la philosophie et de la théologie… Un point de vue indispensable pour comprendre une pensée trop souvent travestie.
