In this Legacies of Learning Book Chat, we talk to Professor Asad Ahmed about his book, “Palimpsests of Themselves: Logic and Commentary in Postclassical Muslim South Asia”, and about Islamic Philosophy. Professor Asad discusses the Sullam al-ʿulūm (The Ladder of the Sciences) of Muḥibballāh al-Bihārī (d. 1119/1707) which is long considered to be the most advanced logic textbook in the Indian Niẓāmī curriculum.
