The Rise of Science in Islam and the West: From Shared Heritage to Parting of The Ways, 8th to 19th Centuries

4.9/5 (28258 ratings)

Description:This is a study of science in Muslim society from its rise in the 8th century to the efforts of 19th century Muslim thinkers and reformers to regain the lost ethos that had given birth to the rich scientific heritage of earlier Muslim civilization. The volume is organized in four parts; the rise of science in Muslim society in its historical setting of political and intellectual expansion; the Muslim creative achievement and original discoveries; proponents and opponents of science in a religiously oriented society; and finally the complex of factors that account for the end of the 500-year Muslim renaissance.The book brings together and treats in depth, using primary and secondary sources in Arabic, Turkish and European languages, subjects that are lightly and uncritically brushed over in the non-specialized literature, such as the question of what can be considered to be purely original scientific advancement in Muslim civilization over and above what was inherited from the Greco-Syriac and Indian traditions; what was the place of science in a religious society; and the question of the curious demise of the Muslim scientific renaissance after centuries of creativty. The book also interprets the history of the rise, achievement and decline of scientific study in light of the religious temper and of the political and socio-economic vicissitudes across Islamdom for over a millennium, and integrates the Muslim legacy to the history of the Latin/European accomplishment. It sets the stage for the next momentous transmission of science: from the West back to the Arabic-speaking world of Islam, from the last half of the nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century, the subject of a second volume.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
