The volume is organized in four parts; the rise of science in Muslim society in its historical setting of political and intellectual expansion; the Muslim creative achievement and original discoveries; proponents and opponents of science in a religiously oriented society; and finally the complex factors that account for the end of the 500-year Muslim renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book brings together and treats in depth, using primary and secondary sources in Arabic, Turkish and European languages, subjects that are lightly and uncritically brushed over in non-specialized literature, such as the question of what can be considered to be purely original scientific advancement in Muslim civilization over and above what was inherited from the Greco–Syriac and Indian traditions; what was the place of science in a religious society; and the question of the curious demise of the Muslim scientific renaissance after centuries of creativity. The book also interprets the history of the rise, achievement and decline of scientific study in light of the religious temper and of the political and socio-economic vicissitudes across Islamdom for over a millennium and integrates the Muslim legacy with the history of Latin\/European accomplishments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart I Islam in Ascendance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Historical Setting of the Great Age\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 The Record of Original Achievement\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 Science in a Religious Society\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 Al-Ghazali at the Crossroads\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart II The Latin Connection: From Greco-Arab Classical to European Modern\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 The Latin Connections: Translation and Transmission\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 Latin Assimilation and Ascendancy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 Renaissance and Revolution\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart III From Muslim Empires in Rise and Fall to Western Ascendance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 Military Ascendancy: 1258-1600\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9 Prologue to Decline: The Past as Future\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 Military Misfortune and the Beginning of Scientific and Technical Transfer 1600-1722\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11 The Tulip Period\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12 Toward a New Order\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e13 The New Order\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart IV Catching Up to the West: Science Assimilation in Cairo and Istanbul under Autocratic Reformers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e14 The West’s Continuing Progress\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e15 Bonaparte’s Expedition: Savants, Shaykhs and the Institute d’Egypte\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e16 Muhammad Ali’s Militarization of Modernization and Educational Reform\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e17 Foreign Missions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e18 Assessment of Muhammad Ali’s Reforms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e19 Azharite Shaykhs and Modern Science\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20 Intensification of Ottoman Reform under Sultan Mahmud II\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e21 Absolutist State Reformers vs. Young Ottoman Constitutionalists: The Young Turks and End of Empire\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39431961542691,"sku":"9780367349424","price":75.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2514\/8624\/products\/LM105681.jpg?v=1630204826","url":"https:\/\/wardahbooks.mom\/products\/the-rise-of-science-in-islam-and-the-west","provider":"Wardah Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
