Islamic Philosophy Online
Description
Site was started in July 2001 and since then we are still a major site dedicated to the study of Islamic Philosophy from Abbasid period to the present. Our definition what Islamic philosophy is very loose. Basically it is works on philosophy that came from the Muslim world, being lands where Muslims are a majority. This would include philosophy written in Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Urdu, Bengali, Hindi, Malay and any other language that Muslim utilize. This would also include Western languages such as Latin, French, German, Spanish and English.
All the philosophers Arab or Muslims? No, A majority of these philosophers are not of Arab origin or descent, for their ancestry is superfluous, but their main output (written corpus) is in Arabic. As for religious affiliation, most were Muslims while others were not and a sizable number were freethinkers. There is no consensus on this issue. Some will declare them Muslims while others consider them heretics and apostates. While this makes for interesting research questions (more like coffee table chatter) it is not a major concern on this website. I am concerned with presenting that philosophical output without pre-judgment (I try) for what it is and nothing more. Sure we all have our biases but who doesn't!
Should you have any concerns or susgestions I love to hear from you. Same goes if you do use this site or find it useful.
