Lone Island: Where Trees Fruit Women!
Don't be misled about this book's name Lone Island: Where Trees Fruit Women. It's just a phrase of Tufail's novel: Hayy Ibn Yaqzan.

His writings did not survive save for Hayy Ibn Yaqzan. Hayy Ibn Yaqzan is deemed the first philosophical novel. The story goes on in an Indian island where human being can born directly from nature with no parents. There are also some trees there that fruit women! This fiction goes on until today.

40 Episodes on Persian Figures
Although this book is dedicated to author's course, ESL for humanities, it as well includes some parts of the history of Persian scientists. Here, an expert follow:Better known as Nasir al-Din Toosi--or simply Toosi in the West--he was a mathematician, physician, astronomer, logician, philosopher, jurisprudent, and theologian, staying abreast of the sciences of his time. Toosi corresponded with Sadr al-Din Qunawi, the son-in-law of ibn Arabi. It appears, however, Toosi was not well absorbed in the conversation.

In the wake of the 9-11 attacks in 2001, Linda Sartor was dismayed to see her country responding primarily with military action and coercive diplomacy. Rather than isolating and defeating the perpetrators, Linda saw US action punishing the innocents in foreign lands, lending credibility to Al Qaeda's depiction of the US as an imperial state and an enemy of Islam, making enemies, and undercutting decades of effort to win the hearts and minds of people around the world.
The Garden of Truth
The headlines are filled with the politics of Islam, but there is another side to the world's fastest-growing religion. Sufism is the poetry and mysticism of Islam. This mystical movement from the early ninth century rejects worship motivated by the desire for heavenly reward or the fear of punishment, insisting rather on the love of God as the only valid form of adoration. Sufism has made significant contributions to Islamic civilization in music and philosophy, dance and literature. The Sufi poet Rumi is the bestselling poet in America. But in recent centuries Sufism has been a target for some extremist Islamic movements as well as many modernists. The Garden of Truth presents the beliefs ...
The Philosophical Poetics of Alfarabi, Avicenna and Averroes
This book examines the studies of Aristotle's Poetics and its related texts in which three Medieval philosophers - Alfarabi, Avicenna and Averroes - proposed a conception of poetic validity (beauty), and a just relation between subjects in a community (goodness). The work considers the relation of the Poetics to other Aristotelian texts, the transmission of these works to the commentators' context, and the motivations driving the commentators' reception of the texts. The book focuses on issues central to the classical relation of beauty to truth and goodness.
