Perspectives on Modern Islamist Political Theology
This paper addresses the notion of political theology by way of accounting for modern manifestations of transnational Islamism with a particular emphasis on the establishment of theocratic rule through the contemporary political spheres of praxis in Twelver-Shiism (Shīʿa Ithnā-ʿAsharīyya). This is undertaken by way of giving some principal highlights concerning the conceptual aspects that can be accounted for from the standpoint of political theo…
God's Chosen People
The research that guided the composition of this book is grounded on an adapted doctoral thesis. Ehud Krinis authored the text in Hebrew and published it in English through an annotated translation by Ann Brener and Tamar Liza Cohen. This comparative inquiry is situated at the intersection between Islamic and Jewish Studies. Krinis conducted his textual analysis based on the methods of philology and historiography in mediaevalist studies while re…
The groundbreaking physics of Averroës
God
The question of God's essence (dhāt) and attributes (sifāt) confronted Muslim scholars with perplexing paradoxes touching on the divine unity (tawhīd) and transcendence (tanzīh).
The Cambridge Companion to Classical Islamic Theology
This series of critical reflections on the evolution and major themes of pre-modern Muslim theology begins with the revelation of the Koran, and extends to the beginnings of modernity in the eighteenth century. The significance of Islamic theology reflects the immense importance of Islam in the history of monotheism, to which it has brought a unique approach and style, and a range of solutions which are of abiding interest. Devoting especial atte…
In Defence of the Sovereignty of Philosophy
This paper investigates the objections that were raised by the philosopher ‘Abd al-Laṭīf al-Baghdādī (d. ca. 1231 CE) against al-Ḥasan ibn al-Haytham’s (Alhazen; d. after 1041 CE) geometrisation of place. In this line of enquiry, I contrast the philosophical propositions that were advanced by al-Baghdādī in his tract: Fī al-Radd ‘alā Ibn al-Haytham fī al-makān ( A refutation of Ibn al-Haytham’s place ), with the geometrical demonstrations that Ib…
A Philosophical Perspective on Alhazen's Optics
Although numerous studies have been conducted on the Optics ( Kitāb al-Manāzir ) of Alhazen (al-Hasan ibn al-Haytham, d. 1040 C.E.), and on its reception, assimilation and maturation within the course of development of the perspectivae traditions in the history of science and art, ambiguities do hitherto still surround the epistemological and ontological entailments of his theory of visual perception. In addressing this question, our inquiry here…
