Muzaffar Iqbal
Iqbal first explains why he two-entity model of science and religion developed to analyze Western Christianity does not apply to Islam. Then he explorers such questions as what was Islamic science, whether there were tensions within the Islamic tradition that may inhibited the full blossoming of scientific activity, how Islamic scientific knowledge was passed to Europe, and what new facets of the relationship between science and Islam have appeared in the post-Scientific Revolution era
SciTech Book News
[The author] has an agreeably caustic and aggressive approach to outdated and erroneous ideas about the history of science. The book is a polemical essay, rather than a history, and welcome as such
