Book Description
This revisionist account of the history of Islamic political thought from the early to the late medieval period focuses on Ibn Taymiyya, one of the most brilliant theologians of his day. In reassessing the influence and philosophy of Ibn Taymiyya's work, this book marks a major departure from traditional interpretations of medieval Islamic thought.
