Summary/Abstract: Mehmet Bulğen Criticisms of Atomism in Classical Islamic Thought presents the criticisms of kalām atomism, which were proposed by significant thinkers from the kalām, falsafa, and Zahiriyya traditions in the Islamic Intellectual history. The book also touches upon the atomists’ responses to those criticisms. The presentation of these ideas relies upon a remarkable use of the primary and secondary sources. Although the author presents the discussions on the critique of atomism in great detail, he does not take a definite position on identifying the most plausible view.
