A complete history of Islamic political thought from early Islam (c.622-661) to the present.

This comprehensive overview describes and interprets all schools of Islamic political thought, their origins, inter-connections and meaning.

It examines the Qur'an, the early Caliphate, classical Islamic philosophy, and the political culture of the Ottoman and other empires.

Major thinkers such as Averroes (Ibn Rushd) and Ibn Taymiyya are covered as well as numerous lesser authors, and Ibn Khaldun is presented as one of the most original political theorists ever.
