Islamic Philosophy Online A truly massive collection of Islamic Philosophy in English. I won’t even pretend that I’ve read or will read any of this. Far too highbrow for me; I’m more a bhakti kind of guy. But if kalam is your thing, this is the place for you.

Each one is enough to be deeply troubling on its own. Read together, they are damning. I won’t quote from the pieces at length, but one […]
