Dante's Pluralism and the Islamic Philosophy of Religion

This book, which explores the Islamic roots of the Western values of tolerance and religious pluralism, considers Dante from the perspective of the Arab-Islamic philosophical tradition. It will appeal to several audiences: Dante scholars and students, generalist medievalists, scholars of medieval philosophy, those interested in the relations between Islamic and Western thought, those interested in historical origins of Western values, such as religious pluralism and the separation of Church and State and those interested in the tradition of tolerance in classical Islamic thought.
