| book description |

With a focus on the KitÄb Ä€dÄb al-falÄsifah, a book of aphorisms attributed to á¸¤unayn ibn Isá¸¥Äq, some of the important aspects of the KitÄb are laid out, particularly those dealing with religion and the pursuit of philosophy. Although putatively, translators and scholars such as á¸¤unayn ibn Isá¸¥Äq, opened the way for philosophical dialogue between Muslims and Christians of Orthodox churches on precepts, often based on Aristotle, which they could agree would lead to wisdom and a humane society.
