Reviews

[Luqman Tarmizi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Buku yang bagus untuk mula terjun ke dalam lautan perbahasan falsafah Islam. Wajib khatam buku ini sebelum mula menelaah Al-Ghazali, Ibn Rusyd, Ibn Sina dan lain-lain.

Buku ini membahaskan secara ringkas dan mudah bagaimana pengaruh falsafah Greek acuan Aristotelian, Neoplatonism dan Stoicism meresap masuk ke dalam dunia Islam dan menjadi sumber pengaruh terpenting dalam falsafah Islam.

Persoalan seperti 'adalah alam itu qadim atau jadid', 'adakah kebangkitan di hari akhirat nanti kebangkitan jasmani, rohani atau kedua-duanya' dan 'bagaimana Tuhan mencipta alam' dibahas secara ringkas dan padat.

Majid Fakhry memang daebak!

As good as Henry Corbin book, this short book explains the history of Islamic thinking in very clear and objective. As an introduction, this book for me is easier to read after I read Henry Corbin book.
