ISBN: 9798195577841 - the space between: wasil ibn ata and the birth of reason in islam (5 resultados)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In 720 CE, a young scholar named Wasil ibn Ata stood up in the most celebrated teaching circle in the Islamic world, gave an answer no one was expecting, and walked away to found a movement that would shape Islamic civilization for centuries.His teacher, the great Hasan al-Basri, watched him go and said quietly: "He has withdrawn from us."That withdrawal - that act of stepping into the space between the available answers - was the founding moment of the Mu'tazila: Islam's first and most consequential rationalist school, the tradition that insisted God's justice required human freedom, that divine unity required careful thinking, and that honest reasoning was not the enemy of faith but its highest expression.THE SPACE BETWEEN tells the story of this forgotten founder - a man who grew up in Medina in the shadow of the Prophet's companions, traveled to Basra at the height of its intellectual life, and spent his life working out what it means to think seriously about God.What you'll discover in these pages: The defining moment that split Islamic theology in two - and why it still mattersThe five revolutionary doctrines Wasil developed: divine unity, divine justice, human freedom, moral accountability, and the obligation to actThe friendship with Amr ibn Ubayd that made intellectual courage possibleHow Wasil's ideas flowed into the Abbasid Golden Age, the House of Wisdom, and eventually into Averroes, Aquinas, and the European RenaissanceWhy the Mu'tazila were ultimately suppressed - and why their ideas could not be destroyedThis is not an academic history. It is the story of a man who trusted his own reasoning mind in a world that demanded conformity - and who, in doing so, gave every subsequent thinker permission to do the same.
