Críticas:

"The discussions of Islamic philosophy are some of the best parts of the book, and the author demonstrates a keen understanding of the works of ibn Rushd, ibn Sina, alGhazzali, and al-Suhrawardi. References to Islamic concepts make clear connections to Greek philosophical sources-a helpful touchstone for those grounded in the Western tradition." -Dan Wolne, "University of Hawai'i Press "Kupperman's book is an excellent exploration of the distinct philosophical investigations of the Asian traditions ...
