Description
Science and Civilization in Islam provides a comprehensive overview of Islamic science as an integral aspect of Islamic civilization and intellectual tradition. Seyyed Hossein Nasr's work presents a full picture of Islamic science, exploring its forms, context, and inter-relatedness with sapiential wisdom. The book surveys the spectrum of individual sciences, including cosmology, philosophy, theology, alchemy, physics, mathematics, astronomy, and medicine, from an Islamic perspective. An introductory chapter provides necessary orientation to the subject according to Islamic principles, while subsequent chapters delve into specific areas of study. This edition includes a preface by Dr Nasr, surveying the fields covered since its first appearance in 1968, and a supplement updating the bibliography.
