Islamic Golden Age philosophy
The Islamic Golden Age (8th to 14th centuries) was a period when scholars in the Muslim world made significant advances in philosophy, science, and culture. Islamic philosophers built on Greek, Persian, and Indian ideas, blending reason and faith to explore questions about existence, knowledge, and morality. They emphasized rational thought, scientific inquiry, and ethical understanding, fostering innovations in medicine, mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy. This era promoted a culture of learning and intellectual dialogue, creating a foundation that influenced both the Islamic world and later Western thought.
