Book Description | The Civilization of Islam by Gustav E. von Grunebaum ... "This book grew out of a series of public lectures given in the spring of 1945 in the Department of Classics at the University of Chicago. It aims at a general overview of the cultural trend of the Islamic Middle Ages, with a focus on Islam in the Levant. The book attempts to portray the medieval Muslim's view of himself and his particular world, and to show the basic mental and emotional tendencies that governed his actions and the psychological state in which he lived his life. It strives to explain the fabric of his world in terms of inherited, transmitted, and original, innovative elements, the framework of the systems within which he operated and orbited, and his place in relation to the contemporary Christian world." |
