Book Synopsis Rise of Humanism in Classical Islam and the Christian West by : Makdisi George Makdisi
Book excerpt: Challenging beliefs about intellectual culture, Makdisi reaffirms the links between Western and Arabic thought and shows that although scholasticism and humanism have long been considered to be exclusive to the Western world, they have their roots in the medieval Islamic world.
