Arab philosophers
Arab philosophers, particularly during the Islamic Golden Age (8th to 14th centuries), played a crucial role in preserving and expanding classical knowledge. Figures like Al-Farabi, Avicenna (Ibn Sina), and Averroes (Ibn Rushd) synthesized Greek philosophy with Islamic thought, exploring topics like metaphysics, ethics, and the nature of knowledge. They translated, commented on, and expanded works of Aristotle and Plato, influencing both Eastern and Western philosophies. Their contributions laid the groundwork for later developments in science, medicine, and philosophy, bridging cultures and advancing intellectual thought across civilizations. Their legacy continues to impact modern philosophy and education.
