"Islamic intellectual thought is at the center of this collection of articles honoring Dimitri Gutas by friends, colleagues, and former students. The essays cover three main areas: the classical heritage and Islamic culture; classical Arabic science and philosophy; and Muslim traditional sciences. They show the interconnectedness between the Islamic intellectual tradition and its historical predecessors of Greek and Persian provenance, ranging from poetry to science and philosophy. Yet, at the same time, the authors demonstrate the independence of Muslim scholarship and the rich inner-Muslim debates that brought forth a flourishing scholastic culture in the sciences, philosophy, literature, and religious sciences. This collection also reflects the breadth of contemporary research on the intellectual traditions of Islamic civilization. "

"One of the great scandals in philosophy from around the beginning of the20th century has been the perpetuation of the idea that there is a substantialdistinction to be made between so-called analytic and continental philosophy—one that goes beyond issues regarding style and sociology. And, eventhough none of the respective participants in the dispute admits to being ableto give the distinction any articulation that does not slip between their fingers,the distinction remains today very real (in the stylistic and sociological sense),wielded by both sides for diverse, abject, anti-philosophical ends (inter alia):the perceived winning of arguments via the appeal to authority; ensuring thatone’s arguments will not be subject to wide-ranging critical scrutiny; themaintenance of one’s image and identity as a member of a particular philosophicalclub at the expense of others’ membership; the perceived entitlementto ignore (and dismiss without reading) vast tranches of literature as some“non-U” other. In short, I think that the belief in the viability of the distinctionis ideological in nature (in the pejorative, Marxist sense that I discuss inChaps. 7 and 8, and which, in a sense, is the guiding theme of this book).One then ought to ask in the present context: why include the word “analytic”in the title of this book? Am I not further securing the credibility of this ideology(used to maintain the positions of power of individual philosophersbelonging to each camp) by so doing? Am I not thus indicating my desire toengage with Islamic philosophy (depending on one’s perceived sense of tribalbelonging) in terms of the “right” or “wrong” way?"
