The study of al-Kaʿbī's theology has been hindered by historiographical barriers: the fragmentary nature of extant articles, and the difficulties of reconstructing their contexts. This work investigates the twofold challenge of recovering al-Kaʿbī's theology on the basis of a source-critical reconstruction of major extant fragments. One result of this study positions al-Kaʿbī's theology as influenced less by the precepts of a Baghdādī school, and guided more by his individual views and affinity for earlier independent Muʿtazilī positions. Another result not only corroborates al-Kaʿbī's previously noted contributions in epistemology and cosmology, but also argues for their centrality to his theology as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47890373509271,"sku":"9789004259690","price":16333.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789004259690.webp?v=1781179738","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-theology-of-ab-363-l-q-257-sim-al-balkh-299-al-ka-703-b-299-d-319-931-9789004259690","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
