Elements of Islamic Metaphysics (Bidayat Al-Hikmah)

The Elements of Islamic Metaphysicssignals a new approach to the teaching of Islamic philosophy. It provides a useful overview of 20th century philosophy in Iran, and traces the development of philosophical thought in the context of a religious tradition whose intellectual character was determined to a large extent by the contents of the Qur'anic revelation and the prophetic teachings. At the same time it attempts to demonstrate how philosophical thought is by nature independent of religious doctrine and differs from theology, which depends on revelation and tradition.Tabatabai, Sayyid Muhammad is the author of 'Elements of Islamic Metaphysics (Bidayat Al-Hikmah)' with ISBN 9781904063063 and ISBN 1904063063.
