Reihe: Islamic Philosophy, Theology and Science. Texts and Studies

This monograph endeavors to chart the development of Islamic philosophy, namely kalam, during the early modern Maghreb. The primary focus is on the Moroccan thinker Ibn Ya'qub al-Wallali (d. 1716) and his text Ashraf al-Maqasid fi Sharh al-Maqasid. It sheds light on al-Wallali's contribution to Islamic philosophy by examining his interpretation of some topics in epistemology, metaphysics, and physics. It also involves the reception of al-Razi (d. 1210) and al-Taftazani (d. 1390). The book prompts a re-evaluation of recent claims about the theological thought that dominated in the region and the continuity of practicing Islamic philosophy in the Maghreb after the time of al-Sanusi (d. 1490).
