Beings and Their Attributes: The Teaching of the Basrian School of the Mu'tazila in the Classical Period

By Richard M. Frank

Presents a classification and analysis of the metaphysics of the predominant tradition of Mu-tazila--that of Basra--in the period of the highest development (AD 900-1050). This is the first of the major schools of Sunni Muslim theology and their metaphysics, and the first book to deal with the underlying theoretical principles of earlier Islamic theology.
