Philosophy: The intersection of Islamic and Jewish thought

Abstract

Islam, like other religious competitors, had a significant impact on Jewish philosophy. It brought Jewish thinkers into contact with a way of working theoretically that was clearly based on non-Jewish sources. For philosophers, this perhaps represents a contact with the “other, " something different that can be perceived as either hostile or friendly, and often as both at the same time. Jewish thought had very little, if any, impact on Islamic philosophy.
