Do Islamic and Western philosophy have any common ground? This ambitious volume shows that the answer is yes. It consists of essays in comparative philosophy written by prominent scholars from around the world. In their essays, they mull over topics such as existence, causality, and the soul. Mulla Sadra, Ghazzali, and Averroes are discussed, as are Aquinas, Heidegger, and Parmenides.

Ali Paya is a professor of philosophy at The Islamic College, a senior visiting research fellow at the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Westminster, and an adjunct professor in Futures Studies at the National Research Institute for Science Policy in Iran.

The essays are of superb quality and the editor has done an extraordinary job in presenting them meticulously. -- Mohammad Azadpur, San Francisco State University.
