Abstract

In the history of ideas, the unit of analysis is an individual concept. A historian tries to identify and describe the emergence, evolution, and recession of ideas over time. The present book may fall in this category where the author presents the history of intellectual thought on selected topics in major intellectual traditions including Islam. Islamic economic thought is an important link between Greek philosophy and modern economic thought. This book under review presents, in an intellectually provoking and lucid manner, the intellectual economic thoughts in Greek, Christian, Islamic, classical, neoclassical, and modern intellectual traditions. At a time when the world is facing grave economic and financial issues, the book’s attempt to provide an intellectual history of economic thought from diverse traditions is novel in its scope and aspiration. This is an admirable work in an area of immense importance. وحدة التحليل هي مفهوم فردي في تاريخ الأفكار. من واجبات المؤرخ أن يحاول تحديد ووصف ظهور وتطور وانكماش الأفكار بمرور الوقت. قد يقع هذا الكتاب في هذه الفئة حيث يعرض المؤلف تاريخ الفكر الفكري حول مواضيع مختارة في التقاليد الفكرية الرئيسية بما في ذلك الإسلام. الفكر الاقتصادي الإسلامي هو رابط مهم بين الفلسفة اليونانية والفكر الاقتصادي الحديث. يعرض هذا الكتاب قيد المراجعة، بطريقة استفزازية وواضحة، الأفكار الاقتصادية الفكرية في التقاليد الفكرية اليونانية والمسيحية والإسلامية والكلاسيكية والحديثة. في الوقت الذي يواجه فيه العالم مشاكل اقتصادية ومالية خطيرة، فإن محاولة الكتاب تقديم تاريخ فكري للفكر الاقتصادي من تقاليد متنوعة هي جديدة في نطاقه وطموحه. هذا عمل مثير للإعجاب في منطقة ذات أهمية كبيرة.
