Medieval Philosophy and the Classical Tradition: In Islam, Judaism and Christianity

Front Cover
Routledge, Oct 9, 2005 - Philosophy - 328 pages

Provides a more balanced view of medieval philosophy, in contrast to the conventional neglect of Islamic and Jewish influences on medieval Latin-Christian thought

Looks at the philosophy of the three great monotheistic traditions, unlike most standard works that discuss the history of single philosophical traditions

Pays attention to the influence of Neoplatonism on the three traditions, an important topic in its own right
