Philosophy
The
introduction of Greek philosophy into the Muslim land
had far reaching impact on Islamic intellectual and
cultural life in the 9th century. Can the Greek philosophy
of Plato, Aristotle and Plotinus meet with the philosophies
of Islam? In justifying the Greek philosophy or otherwise,
several schools of thought emerged such as al-Mu'tazilah,
and many intellectuals wrote on this subject.
Abu
Yusuf Ya'qub al-Kinidy (died 866) was the first Muslim
Philosopher to distinguish himself as both a great Muslim
thinker and a serious student of the Geek philosophy.
Muhammad
bin Zakariya ar-Razi, a prolific author, was one of
the most brilliant geniuses of the middle ages who wrote
about philosophy, logic, astronomy and physical science.
Ibn
Rush, Al-Razi, al Farabi and Ibn Sina all wrote on philosophies
of logic, medicine and belief.
