The Development of Metaphysics in Persia: A Contribution to the History of Muslim Philosophy

Description

Muhammad Iqbal's The Development of Metaphysics in Persia is a monumental work of intellectual history that traces the evolution of Islamic philosophy from early theological debates through the Avicennian synthesis to the radical reinterpretations of the modern era. Iqbal does not merely recount history; he reconstructs the philosophical lineage of Muslim thought, examining how metaphysical systems shaped the cultural and political destiny of the Persianate world.\n\nThis is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of philosophy, Islamic studies, or the intellectual currents that shaped modern Muslim political thought. Iqbal's rigorous analysis of Avicenna, Suhrawardi, and Mulla Sadra reveals the profound depth of the tradition and the creative tensions that continue to inform contemporary Islamic philosophy. The EPUB edition offers the full text of this classic work in a portable, reflowable format suitable for any device.
