À propos de ce contenu audio
The Ikhwan as-Safa, or Brethren of Purity, are shadowy figures in history, probably working in the late 10th or early 11th centuries CE, known only by the impressive 52 letters, known as the rasa’il, which present a curriculum of study designed to provide a comprehensive overview of all known subjects of the day. In the subsequent thousand years of scholarship their approach to knowledge and knowledge acquisition has led to all sorts of debates about what they really thought — some of which we will try to cover in this episode.
