Book Synopsis Philosophy and Arts in the Islamic World by : Union européenne des arabisants et islamisants. Congress

Download or read book Philosophy and Arts in the Islamic World written by Union européenne des arabisants et islamisants. Congress and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 1998 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume contains 26 contributions to literature, philosophy, linguistics and epigraphy in Islamic culture, ranging from pre-Islamic poetry to contemporary prose, from the Ihwan as-Safa to the theology of Mawdudi, from lexicography to epigraphy. These papers were read at the Eighteenth International Congress of the Union Europeenne des Arabisants et Islamisants, organized by the Catholic University of Leuven (KUL) from 3 to 10 September 1996. A second volume of proceedings, that appears along with this one (OLA 86), is more concerned with questions of actuality and political organisation, including Christian minorities in the Arab world, in their relation to the Muslim environment. As such the two volumes put together, will provide to the world of learning, we may say, an overall picture of the current scientific investigations about Islamic culture and society.
