Ebook: Muslim Neoplatonists, An Introduction to the thought of the Brethren of Purity (Ikhwān al-Safā’)

"These Ikhwan al-Safa' are as well known to an educated Arab as, say, the names of Descartes, Hegel and Wittgenstein are to the cultured European. This book is an introduction to their thought: it makes no claims to be comprehensive or to cover every facet of the Ikhwan's doctrine but seeks only to introduce the reader to some aspects of that doctrine".
