Free Will and Predestination in Islamic Thought (eBook, PDF)

Theoretical Compromises in the Works of Avicenna, al-Ghazali and Ibn 'Arabi

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The subject of "human free will" versus "divine predestination" is one of the most contentious topics in classical Islamic thought. By focusing on a theme of central importance to any philosophy of religion, and to Islam in particular, this book offers a critical study of the intellectual imports offered to this discourse by three key medieval Islamic scholars: Avicenna, Ghazali and Ibn ¿Arabi.
