The first volume, published in 2007, addressed the sources and the reception of classical Arabic philosophy, and the second volume considered Arabic philosophy in the fourth\/tenth century. It is immediately striking that the eleventh century, which, in line with the project, undoubtedly had to be qualified as the age of Ibn S\u012bn\u0101, has been skipped. At first sight, there seems to be little philosophy during this time besides Ibn S\u012bn\u0101 himself and his so-called immediate disciples. Among the latter, however, one detects important differences in the way they address their master's legacy. Moreover, the eleventh century is the period in which Ibn S\u012bn\u0101's philosophy entered Ash\u02bfarite theology, perhaps already in al-Juwayn\u012b's thought and certainly in al-Ghaz\u0101l\u012b's. Much of what comes to the fore in the present volume results from or has some basis in these facts. Let me add that in Muslim Andalusia during this century, one finds such a major thinker as Ibn \u1e24azm, who, although above all a theologian, considered philosophical ideas and, inter alia, refers to al-Kind\u012b. Hence, it is regrettable that no attention has been paid to this period. This said, the project as such has offered many new perspectives regarding classical Arabic philosophy, and the present volume is no exception. In particular, this volume shows the vivacity of philosophy, especially in Ibn S\u012bn\u0101's view, in the twelfth century. As Peter Adamson, the editor, states in the introduction, the twelfth century may be characterized as a second formative period.","btype":3,"date":"2012","language":"English","online_url":null,"doi_url":null,"ti_url":null,"categories":[{"id":49,"category_name":"Review","link":"bib?categories[]=Review"}],"authors":[{"id":655,"full_name":"Jules Janssens","role":1}],"works":[],"republication_of":null,"translation_of":null,"new_edition_of":null,"book":null,"booksection":null,"article":{"id":1634,"journal_id":null,"journal_name":"Ilahiyat Studies.
