Philosophy, Logic and Cosmology

Between the eighth and fifteenth centuries, philosophy and logic underwent a number of extremely important developments. This was a period of innovation, as illustrated by the emergence of Sufism in the eighth century and Illuminisationism in the twelfth century.  Currents of philosophical thought took form in the melting pot of West Asian cultures that had been combined under the Islamic Caliphate, and philosophical ‘commentaries’ appeared, many of which made new and important contributions to philosophical thought.
