Arab philosophy

Arab philosophy refers to the intellectual traditions that emerged in the Arab world, particularly during the Islamic Golden Age (8th to 14th centuries). It blends Greek philosophical thought with Islamic theology, focusing on questions of existence, morality, and knowledge. Key figures include Al-Farabi, Avicenna, and Averroes, who explored the nature of reality, the soul, and the relationship between faith and reason. Their works influenced both Eastern and Western thought, laying groundwork for medieval European philosophy and science, while also addressing the ethical and spiritual dimensions of human experience within an Islamic framework.
