Description

"These Ikhwan al-Safa' are as well known to an educated Arab as, say, the names of Descartes, Hegel and Wittgenstein are to the cultured European. This book is an introduction to their thought: it makes no claims to be comprehensive or to cover every facet of the Ikhwan's doctrine but seeks only to introduce the reader to some aspects of that doctrine". (From Author's Preface and Acknowledgements)
