Synopsis

Epistemological Integration: Essentials of an Islamic Methodology seeks to construct an intellectual framework for an Islamic methodology with a view to realizing practical training in the thoughtful investigation of issues related to knowledge in various fields. The book describes distinctive types of integration that characterize Islamic methodology, including integration of sources, means, and schools of thought, as well as existing realities with desired ideals. This approach is fully consistent with human nature, as variety is fundamental to the functions people perform and skills they can master. The work essentially makes the case that fundamental to any Muslim intellectual and moral recovery is laying the foundations of sound thinking and values and developing practical means by which to bring the fruits of that knowledge, goals or ideas into a working arena. Epistemology and Methodology, as governed by Tawhid, lie at the heart of this theory in order to renew the intellectual vitality, energy and spiritual understanding of Muslim thought and achievement, to function as the motivating force of a once vigorous Islamic civilization in a modern context.
