A distinctive feature of the book is its attention to the relationship between Ibns n and Islamic rational theology (kal m): in which we see how Ibns n responded to this tradition in many areas of his thought. A final chapter looks at Ibns n 's legacy in both the Islamic world and in Latin Christendom.
