· A comparative study of Islamic and modern rationality
Islam’s approach towards rationality, its principles, features, and outcomes will be tackled at the analytical section of the course through a comparative study between the Qur’anic notion of ‘aql with a focus on Islamic sciences, and modern rationalism. On a deeper level, the course will address the following questions: Could Islamic intellectuality and cosmology answer the questions and challenges of the contemporary world and the contemporary man? If the answer is yes, how can this take place?
The course will also tackle fundamental issues such as challenges and predicaments ahead of the contemporary man.
