The Islamic Scholar who Influenced Jewish and Christian Thought

The Islamic Golden Age (c. 750-1258 BCE) was marked by significant cultural, religious, scientific, and technological developments in the Muslim world (Abbas, 2011, p. 9). It was during the Islamic Golden Age that the physician and philosopher Avicenna argued for the existence of God. In The Metaphysics of the Healing, Remarks and Admonitions: Physics and Metaphysics, and Salvation (Adamson, 2016, pp. 459–460), Avicenna argued for the existence of a being that possesses the exact same attributes as God, including, but not limited to, necessity, uniqueness, simplicity, ineffability, intellection, and goodness (Adamson, 2013, p. 177). His argument would subsequently be taken up not just by generations of Muslim philosophers and theologians, but also by Jewish philosophers like Maimonides, and Christian philosophers like Duns Scotus (p. 170). <a href="https://medium.com/@lamfy/the-islamic-scholar-who-influenced-jewish-and-christian-thought-ffa3a48d96a4">Read More</a>
