Al-Farabi and His School

Focusing on the intellectual landscape of medieval Islam from the late 9th to early 11th century, the book explores the contributions of five key thinkers, especially al-Farabi, known as 'the Second Master' after Aristotle. It delves into their philosophical inquiries, particularly in epistemology, emphasizing the continuity of thought during a transformative era. The exploration includes a significant examination of the ethical dimensions of knowledge, filling a gap in existing literature and highlighting the dynamic interplay of ideas in a time of change.
