This review is from: Al-Farabi, Founder of Islamic Neoplatonism: His Life, Works, and Influence (Great Islamic Thinkers) (Paperback)
This is an excellent source on a difficult subject. Islamic neoplatonism is a complex web of ideas made quite accessible by this book. Thankyou for the scholarship it must have taken to present it.
