The contributions focus on hitherto unknown Mu'tazil�ritings, contain first editions of Muctazil�exts, or analyze specific topics. While most of the articles deal with authors and works of the 9th to the 13th century CE, modern issues such as the so-called "Neo-Muctazila" are also addressed. ISBN 9783899135879
