I have, a little bit. Here's my unlearned impression of it:

> Certain snippets of Aristotle and Plotinus make it to Umayyads, combine with preexisting Quran discussion circles to start their philosophical tradition (al-Kindi)
> Four Sunni schools and kalam solidify by the time the Abbasids come around
> Persianate culture establishes itself further, and caliphs begin to bring Christians, atheists, etc. to debate with theologians in their court, creating Muslim apologetic literature which further refines their philosophy
> Most philosophy done by ethnic Persians
> Peripatetics peak with Avicenna (I think?), which interacts with Christian theology in Andalusia, the debate over his thought helps refine what will become Thomas Aquinas' ideas
> Other eclectic thinkers like Suhrawardi and even open heretics like al-Razi also publish their ideas in Baghdad, among many others
> Muslim theologians begin to argue that overreliance on Greeks is downplaying the role of the Quran, Ghazali begins to move toward a philosophy
> Mongols ride into Baghdad and buttfuck everything to hell, destroying major population centers in Iran and Central Asia where the philosophers used to be patronized, irreversibly set the tradition back, Ibn Taymiyyah brings in a more fundamentalist understanding of theology that relies more on takfir
> Philosophy continues in a more fragmented away in the Muslim world after that

Sound right?
