The text advances arguments drawn from natural philosophy--largely from Aristotle and Averroes--along with more traditional revealed sources such as the Qurʾān and the Bible.\u003cbr\u003e Mudejar communities suffered a diminution of religious and political intelligentsia over time. This text, however, highlights the author's particular conception of the world as the creation of God in his defense of Islam, demonstrates the vitality of intellectual life among Muslims in medieval Christian Iberia, and documents the continued cultivation of natural philosophy within these Muslim communities.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Honorable Mention (Best Edition \u0026amp; Translation) for The Mediterranean Seminar Prize for the Best Source Edition, Book Translation, or Essay Collection, 2025. \u003cb\u003eOfficial The Mediterranean Seminar Prize announcement\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46442816241815,"sku":"9789004695610","price":15838.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789004695610.webp?v=1769124238","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-book-of-disputation-a-mudejar-religious-philosophical-treatise-against-christians-and-jews-a-study-and-accompanying-text-edition-9789004695610","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
