This book explores the development of Islamic philosophy (later kalām) in the Maghreb during the early modern period. It includes a historical analysis of the interplay between natural theology and philosophy, with a focus on al-Wallālī's Ashraf al-Maqāṣid.
This monograph endeavors to chart the development of kalām and Islamic philosophy during the early modern Maghreb. The primary focus is on the Moroccan thinker Ibn Yaʿqūb al-Wallālī (d. 1716) and his text Ashraf al-Maqāṣid fī Sharḥ al-Maqāṣid. It sheds light on al-Wallālī’s contribution to Islamic philosophy by examining his interpretation of some topics in epistemology, metaphysics, and physics. It also involves the reception of al-Rāzī’s (d. 1210) and al-Taftāzānī’s (d. 1390) works in the Maghreb.
The book attempts to offer a re-evaluation of the prevailing claims in the scholarship that has dominated the region, asserting that the engagement with Islamic philosophy in the Maghreb continued beyond the time of al-Sanūsī (d. 1490).
