I want to know the answer to the following question:
What emphasized an inexorable link between science and religion?
All the background I'm provided with is that "This view was challenged by the "rationalist" Mutazilite philosophers, who held a more Hellenic view, reason above revelation, and as such are known to modern scholars as the first speculative theologians of Islam; they were supported by a secular aristocracy who sought freedom of action independent of the Caliphate.". Is that enough to answer the question?
