Arabic science was the fruit of Semitic genius fertilized by the Iranian genius. - George Sarton

The history of science should not be an instrument to defend any kind of social or philosophic theory; it should be used only for its own purpose, to illustrate impartially the working of reason against unreason, the gradual unfolding of truth, in all its forms, whether pleasant or unpleasant, useful of useless, welcome or unwelcome.

… science is the most revolutionary force in the world.

The scientific books written in Arabic during the Middle Ages were, for a few centuries, the main vehicle of the living science.
