The Closing of the Muslim Mind by Robert R. Reilly

The Closing of the Muslim Mind by Robert R. Reilly

Reilly argues that a specific theological shift within medieval Islamic thought — the ascendance of a particular Ash'arite school over Mu'tazilite rationalism — closed off intellectual traditions that had once made classical Islamic civilisation a centre of scientific and philosophical achievement.

Tracing this theological history from medieval debates through to contemporary Islamist movements, Reilly presents a contested but influential argument connecting historical theological choices to the modern crisis of political Islam, drawing significant debate among scholars of Islamic intellectual history.

A provocative historical and theological argument about the roots of contemporary Islamist ideology.
