buang83's review against another edition
4.0
Peter Adamson does a good job in introducing Philosophy in the Islamic World. Many philosophers from different eras are mentioned, including AL-Ghazali, Al-Farabi, Al-Razi, and of course Al-ibn Rushd. Adamson takes you through the different schools of though with the Mutazilites and the Asharites during the Islamic Golden Age. And don't forget the Peripatetic Baghdad school of philosophy.
If you are into Plato and his view of the 3-part soul, Galen, or possibly the philosopher Miskawayh, then this would be a good read. He is a concise and readable philosophy author. Take a gander.
