Où en est l?étude de la philosophie arabe? Ce livre propose un état des lieux. Il s?agit de dresser un premier bilan des travaux menés dans ce vaste champ. On examine l?historiographie, les dénominations employées; on s?interroge sur les thématiques, les objets retenus et les méthodes d?analyse mises en oeuvre; on y présente aussi des études sur des auteurs, des traditions ou des concepts, qui montrent comment le travail progresse, quelles tensions perdurent, quelles sont les perspectives.

The aim is to draw up a first assessment of the research carried out in the field of Arabic philosophy, reconsidering the historiography and the nomenclature, and examining the subjects and objectives, as well as the methods of analysis that have commonly been used. We also present studies ? on authors, traditions and concepts ? that show how work is progressing, what tensions persist, and what the prospects are.
