Questions and answers from two great philosophers Why is laughter contagious? Why do mountains exist? Why do we long for the past, even if it is scarred by suffering? Spanning a vast array of subjects that range from the philosophical to the theological, from the philological to the scientific, The Philosopher Responds is the record of a set of questions put by the litterateur Ab? ?ayy?n al-Taw??d? to the philosopher and historian Ab? ?Al? Miskawayh. Both figures were foremost contributors to the remarkable flowering of cultural and intellectual life that took place in the Islamic world during the reign of the Buyid dynasty in the fourth/tenth century. The correspondence between al-Taw??d? and Miskawayh holds a mirror to many of the debates of the time and reflects the spirit of rationalistic inquiry that animated their era. It also provides insight into the intellectual outlooks of two thinkers who were divided as much by their distinctive temperaments as by the very different trajectories of their professional careers. Alternately whimsical and tragic, trivial and profound, al-Taw??d?’s questions provoke an interaction as interesting in its spiritedness as in its content. An English-only edition.
Описание: This book is a dialogue between a scholar and a person who left Islam because of the attraction of Western culture. Its author wrote it in response to a former colleague who wrote books ridiculing Islam while praising modernity. This short book outlines the importance of not judging Western culture by its outer appearances alone without considering the emptiness of its inner reality. It also discusses the importance of having good friends and the harmfulness of immoral associates. Most of the advice offered in this book explains why Islam alone is the key to true happiness in this world and the next. This book is a heartfelt plea to all those who have been misled by this world and Shayṭān to return to guidance and is a kind invitation back to Islam. Do not despair of Allah's Mercy.
