Reihe: Islamicate Intellectual History

Philosophical Theology in Islam studies the later history of the Ash'ari school of theology through in-depth probings of its thought, sources, scholarly networks and contexts. Starting with a review of al-Ghazali’s role in the emergence of post-Avicennan philosophical theology, the book offers a series of case studies on hitherto unstudied texts by the towering thinker Fakhr al-Din al-Razi as well as specific philosophical and theological topics treated in his works. Studies furthermore shed light on the transmission and reception of later Ash'ari doctrines in periods and regions that have so far received little scholarly attention. This book is the first exploration of the later Ash'ari tradition across the medieval and early-modern period through a trans-regional perspective.
