The subject of “human free will†versus “divine predestination†is one of the most contentious topics in classical Islamic thought. By focusing on a theme of central importance to any philosophy of religion, and to Islam in particular, this book offers a critical study of the intellectual imports offered to this discourse by three key medieval Islamic scholars: Avicenna, GhÄzÄlÄ« and Ibn Ê¿ArabÄ«.
