Examines the ongoing tradition of rational theology in the Islamic world.
The Q¿¿¿ Ab¿ Bakr Ibn al-¿Arab¿ was an A¿¿arite theologian, a Maliki jurist and an Andalusian traditionalist of the fifth-sixth / eleventh-twelfth century. His influence in the Muslim West is undeniable: he is one of the most important figures in the history of ä¿arism in al-Andalus, and introduced kal¿m books that quickly became references of local teaching, such as the Ir¿¿d of al-¿uwayn¿. He also introduced treatises of u¿¿l al-fiqh such as the Mustäf¿ and the Man¿¿l of al-¿az¿l¿. Ibn al-¿Arab¿ is also the most famous disciple of the latter and one of the first to have transmitted his thought to Andalusian scholars, then to the rest of the Muslim West. Through a critical, introduced, translated and commented edition of his sum of legal theory entitled Nukat al-Mä¿¿l f¿ ¿ilm u¿¿l, this present work shows how the legal thought of the Q¿¿¿ is articulated between language and theology.
"The book analyses all extant works by Ibn Jarir al-Tabari (d. 224/839-310/923), referring to their individual methodologies; their legacy as al-madhhab al-jariri; and their scholarly and socio- political context. Through the study of al-Tabari's works, the book addresses research debates over dating the legal and scholarly institutions and their disciplines; authorship and transmission of scholarly writings; political theory and administration; and 'origins' of the Qur'an and Islam"--

Unlike the predominantly theological or text-historical studies which constitute much of the scholarly literature on Hallag, this study is completely philosophical in nature, placing Hallag within the tradition of Graeco-Arabic philosophy and emphasizing, in a positive light, his continuity with the pagan Neoplatonism of Plotinus and Proclus.
