Analytic Islamic Epistemology

This book will provide impetus for the integration of the Islamic tradition into the epistemology of religion, a field that has long been dominated by Christian perspectives. The contributors include some of the more promising younger scholars in the field and the papers cover a wide range of topics within Islamic philosophy and other relevant fields of Islamic culture. – Peter Adamson, Ludwig Maximilian University of MunichAn intriguing collection of articles that demonstrates the power of analytic philosophy to contribute to Islamic philosophy. There has been a trend recently to use that approach in the philosophy of religion but not so much until now in Islamic thought, so this is both innovative and a valuable addition to epistemology – Oliver Leaman, University of Kentucky
