Book Description

Publication Date: May 30, 1996 | Series: Islamic Surveys

This is the standard general account in English of Islamic philosophy and theology. It takes the reader from the religio-political sects of the Kharijites and the Shiites through to the assimilation of Greek thought in the medieval period, and onto the early modern period. Watt concludes with an analysis of Western influences on modern Islamic theology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exellent book well worth finding, July 6, 2007
By 
This review is from: Islamic Philosophy and Theology (Hardcover)
Covers the history of Islamic theology including the four sunni schools of thought and even gives a little extra importance to the minority Hanbali school (unusual for most books) and covers some of the controversy of ibn Taymiyyah. The book also goes on to cover some of the more later day theological developments.

In philosophy it covers the main characters of Islamic philosophy though in not as much detail.

Still, it is short and to the point. Well worth buying.
