Review Quotes:
Arab Philosophical Trends combines erudition and creativity, intimacy with the subject and dialogues between the past and present with methodological feeling and excellent epistemology. In tune with contemporary, plural and decolonial studies, this book offers a fascinating picture of the richness of Arab thought, ancient legacy and dialectical overcoming during the current challenges. Al-Salimi brings back a treasure eclipsed in the 20th century not for a museum but for a Socratic field of free thought, life and improvement of dialogue that is so urgent and necessary between East and West.
