Description

What Christian Europeans call “The Dark Ages,” Muslims call “The Golden Age of Islam.” In both the Eastern and Western caliphates, philosophy from classical Greece and Rome were revived with an Islamic twist. Thinkers like Ibn Sena, Ibn Rushd, Al Farabi, and Al Gazhali took over the questions that asked how humans gained knowledge and what we could know of ultimate reality.
