Centre for Islamic Thought and History

Welcome to the Leiden University Centre for Islamic Thought and History. The initiatives and projects undertaken here are under the auspices of the Leiden University Centre for Intercultural Philosophy. As a centre, we aim to promote the study of Arabic and Islamic thought and history, in all its different expressions, periods, and manifestations. By fostering a dialogue among specialists and scholars of Arabic and Islamic thought and history, we wish to stimulate the study of intellectual and learned traditions within Arabic and Islamic thought.
