L'idée directrice de ces études est que les problèmes du monde arabe se réduisent au problème de fond qu'on peut désigner comme étant celui de la mutation culturelle. Ce qui signifie le passage de la tradition à la modernité, soit d'une mentalité de type théologique à une mentalité de type rationnel, et plus précisément scientifique et technique. Les chances de la modernisation du monde arabe se jouent donc sur la rationalité.

Philosophy written in Arabic and in the Islamic world represents one of the great traditions of Western philosophy. Inspired by Greek philosophical works and the indigenous ideas of Islamic theology, Arabic philosophers from the ninth century onwards put forward ideas of great philosophical and historical importance. This collection of essays, by some of the leading scholars in Arabic philosophy, provides an introduction to the field by way of chapters devoted to individual thinkers (such as al-Farabi, Avicenna and Averroes) or groups, especially during the 'classical' period from the ninth to the twelfth centuries. It also includes chapters on areas of philosophical inquiry across the tradition, such as ethics and metaphysics. Finally, it includes chapters on later Islamic thought, and on the connections between Arabic philosophy and Greek, Jewish, and Latin philosophy. The volume also includes a useful bibliography and a chronology of the most important Arabic thinkers.

Contrairement à ce que l’on croit généralement, la philosophie arabe n’est pas une entité isolée, inassimilable à l’histoire de la philosophie occidentale, pas plus qu’une simple traduction en arabe de la philosophie de langue grecque. Elle se révèle être un moment essentiel de l’histoire de la philosophie qui a durablement marqué toute la pensée occidentale qui lui a succédé et continue d’exercer son influence dans le monde arabe et la pensée contemporaine. Réunissant les grands textes de la philosophie arabe, qui contribuèrent à fonder la pensée occidentale, ainsi que d’autres tout aussi majeurs mais moins connus, cette anthologie montre que le monde arabo-musulman médiéval s’était déjà emparé des grandes problématiques rationnelles qui allaient fleurir en Occident : élaboration d’une philosophie politique indépendante de la doctrine religieuse, recherches en logique, distinction de la philosophie et de la théologie… Un point de vue indispensable pour comprendre une pensée trop souvent travestie.

The Ikhwan al-Safa' (Brethren of Purity), the anonymous adepts of a tenth-century esoteric fraternity based in Basra and Baghdad, hold an eminent position in the history of science and philosophy in Islam due to the wide reception and assimilation of their monumental encyclopaedia, the Rasa 'il Ikhwan al-Safa' (Epistles of the Brethren of Purity). This compendium contains fifty-two epistles offering synoptic accounts of the classical sciences and philosophies of the age; divided into four classificatory parts, it treats themes in mathematics, logic, natural philosophy, psychology, metaphysics, and theology, in addition to didactic fables. Epistles 6 to 8 are from the first division of the Epistles, on the propaedeutical and mathematical sciences. Epistle 6 develops ideas concerning natural numbers and their arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic ratios, marked by the influence of Nicomachus of Gerasa and of Euclid. The Brethren here emphasize practical applications of proportionality in music, medicine, and alchemy. Epistle 7 addresses theoretical scientific knowledge as directed towards the spiritual realities of souls, the goal of which is to actualize human potential; this epistle also presents a remarkable classification of sciences. Epistle 8 surveys material cultures in the Islamic mediaeval milieu, embellished by a consideration of the effects of the heavenly bodies on the predisposition of individuals to follow specific trades. These three epistles are, of course, underpinned by the Brethren's perennial tropes of the microcosm/macrocosm analogy and the emanative hierarchy of existents
