Handbook of Islamic Philosophy of Science
Islamic Economics and Finance and their Institutional Implications
A critic is launched on the conventional understanding and practice of Islamic economics and finance, and institutionalism. The missing worldview is the distinctive Islamic one concerning the functional nature of the epistemology of unity of knowledge that emanates from the monotheistic law in the Qur’an and the Sunnah, and thereby by Islamic discursive institutionalism. The paper formalizes and recommends that the worldview of unity of knowledge…

The structure of Islamic economics
A comparative examination of mainstream economic doctrines and their recent developments is undertaken with a view to find out how ethics has been treated in these. The principal focus here is to identify the new paradigm that can treat ethics endogenously in preference formation, the market and the economic order. The quest for this paradigm leads us to an examination of Islamic economics. Islamic economics is presented in terms of its epistemol…
The Concept and Role of Culture in Socioscientific Systems
The term “culture” has two interesting connotations in social thought.Both carry important implications on the kind of social interrelationshipsthat are generated by the preferences formed at the level of the individual.Since culture is an intermediate course for generating interrelationships,which in turn reinforce and continue the very meaning of culture,a cause-effect relationship must exist between social transformation andculture. In this, t…

Social Choice in an Islamic Economic Framework
In this paper, the decision-making character of shura, the consultativedemocratic concept in an Islamic social order, will be shown to clearly definethe determination of both state variables (socioeconomic variables) and policyvariables and the simulative interactions between them. These variables willthen be shown to configure the consumption, production, and distributionmenus in an Islamic political economy. They will thus be shown as clearlyde…
Conflict between the efficiency and equity goals of manpower policies
We have shown in this paper that there is a poor chance under the purely neoclassical economic regime for simultaneously realizing the optimal goals of manpower policies, namely maximizing economic efficiency (allocative goal), distributive equity (X-efficiency goal) and price stability (economic stabilization goal). Consequently, both theory and evidence received from developing and industrialized countries point to the fact that the goal of dis…

After 1870 it became concerned with the problem of optimal allocation of resources among competing ends. Finally, since the rebirth of macroeconomic theory in the hands of Keynes, economic sc…
