A-T. Tymieniecka, Nazif Muhtaroglu, "Classic Issues in Islamic Philosophy and Theology Today"
Springer | 2009 | ISBN: 9048135729 | 188 pages | PDF | 1 MB
This collection of classic issues in Islamic theology and philosophy, authored by young Islamic scholars, is for Islamic and Occidental readers alike. While the questions are classic, these studies are not focused on historical matters. They proceed from the authors’ personal quest, prompted by contemporary concerns as they seek to understand the old themes afresh as relevant to inherited Islamic wisdom. These studies strike us as initiating its contribution to the New Enlightenment, which emerges from the technologico-pragmatic turn of today’s universal situation, loosening its grip. Firstly, by their response to the present day call to revivify metaphysics, benefitting from the evolution of knowledge.
Secondly, the search for renewed Islamic illumination is manifested in our authors’ sharing their reflection in encounters with Occidental thinkers, renewing the precious ties between East and West that were formed in the Middle Ages and then disrupted.
