• W328702978 abstract "Ahmad Dallal. Islam, Science, and the Challenge of History. New Haven, CT * London: Yale University Press, 2010, xii+240 pp; ISBN 978-0300159110. Divided into four chapters (Beginnings and Beyond; and Philosophy; and Religion; and the Shadow of Modernity), and hailed by Yale's Dimitri Gutas as the serious treatment of the whole subject, superseding all earlier, partial, incompetent and, for the most part, biased (through ignorance) works (book jacket), Ahmad Dallal's Islam, Science, and the Challenge of History attempts to situate the Islamic culture of science in relation to social and cultural trends in Muslim (p. xi). Based on the author's Terry Lectures delivered at Yale University in February 2008, the book demonstrates the author's passionate and lifelong involvement with the topic of the relationship between religious and scientific knowledge. Beginnings and Beyond, the first chapter, provides a brief account of the emergence of science in Islamic civilization. main question discussed in the first section is the role played by the translation movement of the ninth century in the emergence and subsequent development of Islamic science. For the construction of his historical sketch, Dallal draws most on two interpretive essays published in 1998, whose authors have attempted to address in systematic ways the particular social and historical roots of the translation movement and the general social factors that contributed to the rise and development of scientific thought (p. 13). first is Dimitri Gutas' Greek Thought, Arabic Culture and the second George Saliba's al-Fikr al-Hlmi al-carabi: Nas'atuhu wa tatawwuruhu. Dallal acknowledges the distinct approaches of these two important historians of science (p. 13-14), and shares with each the historically verifiable conclusion that the translation movement did not give birth to science in Islamic civilization but rather itself emerged in response to the needs of the emerging scientific movement. section on Social and Institutional Contexts offers one of the most rewarding readings of the first chapter, for here Dallal's lucid, source-based narrative simply dissolves the erroneous model that pitted the Islamic sciences against the rational sciences--a hypothesis which has been repeatedly ad nauseam in mainstream books on history of science since its first articulation in the second decade of the twentieth century and reinforced by such classics as George Makdisi's 1981 Rise of Colleges: Institutions of Learning in Islam and the West. Dallal provides an impressive array of textual support for debunking this hypothesis, and his sources are indicative of his thorough grounding in the history of Islamic science. In this section, the work he most relies on is Sonja Brentjes' 2002 study, On the Location of the Ancient or 'Rational' Sciences in Muslim Educational Landscapes, wherein she argues that in the exact sciences was a stable aspect of in Muslim societies, just as in the religious sciences was. Furthermore, scientific took place within recognizable networks whose structures paralleled those of religious education (p. 19). Dallal concludes: fact, the evidence for the presence of the rational sciences as a constitutive element in the educational landscape of classical Muslim societies is simply overwhelming (p. 19). He then affirms, with additional force and evidence, Saliba's conclusion in his seminal Islamic Science and the Making of the European Renaissance (1): The predominance of the Greek scientific tradition and its vital influence on the development of the Arabo-Islamic sciences is a given. But Arabic science was not a mere museum of Greek scientific knowledge (p. 26). Drawing examples from disparate scientific disciplines such as medicine, optics, and algebra, Dallal states: Demonstrably, the culture of science struck deep roots in classical Muslim societies. …" @default.
