The Atlas of Islamic Thought (IDA) is a book and web-based program development project that aims to introduce the tradition of Islamic thought from its inception to the present day, around the variables of time-space-teaching school. The Atlas of Islamic Thought invites us to understand Islamic thought within the history that carries it, the texts that transmit it, the personal and conceptual networks that form it, the institutional structures that embody it, and finally the geographical and cultural basins that own it. IDA, which stands out as a holistic reading proposal on Islamic thought with a new periodization proposal that will provide continuity to our historical-cultural memory and a comprehensive logic of relations it proposes, has been created over a period of more than three years by Turkey's leading researchers on the history of Islamic thought, accompanied by design experts, software developers, and map engineers.

The Atlas of Islamic Thought has three conceptual maps that aim to formulate complex relationships in a way that can be followed through web-based programs, and a history of thought backbone to carry the information conveyed through these maps: The Time Map, the Books Map, the Persons Map and a new periodization proposal for the history of Islamic thought, supported by maps and school-based evaluations according to periods. Through these components, IDA tries to answer the following questions: By whom, when, where, how, in relation to what kind of school traditions, through which paths, with what kind of interactions, and through which textual traditions were thought produced? For those who are curious about the answers to these questions, Atlas of Islamic Thought promises a unique reading of the history of thought.

We would be pleased to welcome you.
