In this monumental new work, Frank Griffel argues that what he calls the "post-classical" period of Islamic philosophy has been unjustly maligned and neglected by previous generations of scholars. The Formation of Post-Classical Philosophy in Islam is a comprehensive study of the far-reaching changes that led to a re-shaping of the philosophical discourse in Islam during the twelfth century, when Muslim thinkers began to produce books in a new genre of philosophical literature they called " ¿ikma."
