The philosophical tradition that enabled Western philosophy as we know it
http://philosophytalk.org/pastShows/IslamicPhilosophy.htm
Engaging, Opinionated, Thoughtful
Some of the many topics discussed in Islamic philosophy are the Qur'an, knowledge, dreams, justice, poetry, reality, prophethood, peace, and the State. How has Islamic philosophy interacted historically with other philosophical traditions? How has philosophy influenced the popular practice and interpretation of Islam? When has Islamic philosophy melded with or clashed with Islam's religious teachings? John and Ken are joined by Mashhad Al-Allaf, Imam Khattab Chair of Islamic Studies at the University of Toledo and author of "The Essential Ideas of Islamic Philosophy" and "The Essence of Islamic Philosophy."
