This book introduces the work of an important medieval Islamic philosopher who is little known outside the Persian world. Afdal al-Din Kashani was a contemporary of a number of important Muslim thinkers, including Averroes and Ibn al-Arabi. Kashani did not write for advanced students of philosophy but rather for beginners. In the main body of his work, he offers especially clear and insightful expositions of various philosophical positions, making him an invaluable resource for those who would like to learn the basic principles and arguments of this philosophical tradition but do not have a strong background in philosophy. Here, Chittick uses Kashani and his work to introduce the basic issues and arguments of Islamic philosophy to modern readers.
Main problem buku ini diawali dari kegelisahan penulis terhadap dinamika keilmuan Islam yang terstagnansi oleh situasi problematis tertentu. Secara internal, terdapat realitas pemihakan serta klaim validitas dan keunggulan suatu metode ilmiah atas metode ilmiah lainnya sehingga sejarah epistemologi Islam diwarnai oleh silang pendapat antar disiplin ilmu. Peristiwa kasuistik untuk problem ini antara lain penolakan prinsip kausalitas yang merupakan asumsi dasar sains, serangan terhadap metodologi filsafat yang berimplikasi pada pengkafiran beberapa filosof muslim, superioritas metode yang ditunjukkan pada peristiwa eksekusi al-Hallaj, dominasi saintisme, serta pemaknaan ilmu yang hirarkis-diko...

Islam is growing rapidly both in its traditional homelands and in the West. Some in the West view Islam with a mixture of fear and suspicion. However, it is also fair to say that there is widespread ignorance about Islam, and especially about its relationship to political systems and the economy. Is Islam compatible with a free society and a free economy? Is the fact that many Muslim-majority states do not have free economies or polities a result of an incompatibility between Islam and political and economic freedom, or does it result from an unfortunate series of historical events? What role has past colonialism played in encouraging Muslim extremism? Exactly what does Islam have to say about freedom in economic, political and religious life? This book, written by a range of Islamic scholars, sheds a great deal of light on these crucial questions. It is an important book for those in the West who need to understand Islam better. It is also important for those in Muslim countries who can influence the development of political systems and economic policy. The publication of this book could not be more timely.
