Description: "The Essays Presented in The History and Philosophy of Islamic Science discuss the principles behind the different sciences cultivated in the Islamic world from the third century of the Islamic era onwards and the place of science in relation to the other branches of Islamic learning. In defining what Islamic science means, Professor Osman Bakar shows how these sciences are organically related to the fundamental teachings of Islam. The great attraction of The History and Philosophy of Islamic Science is its interdisciplinary character. The book is of value to all those concerned with the problem of knowledge in all its dimensions."--Jacket.
