Revelation and Reason in Islam by A.J. Arberry Pdf
The "Scholastic Problem" was the focus of much debate in Islam for some centuries before it became the chief crux of learned discussion in medieval Christianity. When originally published in 1957 this volume was the first survey of the subject to appear in English. It reviews the conflict within Islam between Revelation and Reason and examines the attempts made by theology, philosophy, mysticism and authoritarianism to resolve the dilemma.
Philosophy in the Islamic World: A Very Short Introduction by Peter Adamson Pdf
In the history of philosophy, few topics are so relevant to today's cultural and political landscape as philosophy in the Islamic world. Yet, this remains one of the lesser-known philosophical traditions. In this Very Short Introduction, Peter Adamson explores the history of philosophy among Muslims, Jews, and Christians living in Islamic lands, from its historical background to thinkers in the twentieth century. Introducing the main philosophical themes of the Islamic world, Adamson integrates ideas from the Islamic and Abrahamic faiths to consider the broad philosophical questions that continue to invite debate: What is the relationship between reason and religious belief? What is the possibility of proving God's existence? What is the nature of knowledge? Drawing on the most recent research in the field, this book challenges the assumption of the cultural decline of philosophy and science in the Islamic world by demonstrating its rich heritage and overlap with other faiths and philosophies.
Ibn Taymiyya on Reason and Revelation by Carl Sharif El-Tobgui Pdf
In Ibn Taymiyya on Reason and Revelation, Carl Sharif El-Tobgui offers the first comprehensive study of Ibn Taymiyya’s ten-volume magnum opus, Darʾ taʿāruḍ al-ʿaql wa-l-naql (Refutation of the conflict of reason and revelation). In his colossal riposte to the Muslim philosophers and rationalist theologians, the towering Ḥanbalī polymath rejects the call to prioritize reason over revelation in cases of alleged conflict, interrogating instead the very conception of rationality that classical Muslims had inherited from the Greeks. In its place, he endeavors to articulate a reconstituted “pure reason” that is both truly universal and in full harmony with authentic revelation. Based on a line-by-line reading of the entire Darʾ taʿāruḍ, El-Tobgui’s study carefully elucidates the “philosophy of Ibn Taymiyya” as it emerges from the multifaceted ontological, epistemological, and linguistic reforms that Ibn Taymiyya carries out in this pivotal work.

Between Reason and Revelation by Leslie Terebessy Pdf
I grew up under communism, where equality was valued above freedom. I was educated in the West, where freedom trumps equality. I found faith in Malaysia. With the emergence of rationalism, faith took refuge in the domain of privacy. Europe became "scientific." Among the biggest issues with the Reformation is the perception that we attain redemption by faith without praiseworthy acts. Another problem was the legalization of usury. Under the impact of relativism, the West became disoriented. We could no longer be "judgmental," and perceive aberrant practices, for example usury, as aberration. We became permissive, liberal, and easygoing. There is truth in this. However, there is a deeper reason for the demoralization of the West. A deeper reason for the dispiritedness of humanity is alienation from God. This estrangement is fostered excessive reliance on reason, at the expense of alternative ways of perception, particularly "the heart." In different words, the problem is alienation from faith is the problem, not the alienation from the factors of production. At the root of the paralysis of the West is a deficit of knowledge of good and evil. It was an illusion to think that morality is sustainable without faith. By comparison, Asia remains "traditional" in a few ways. Here, rich spirituality is encountered. We find a diversity of traditional ways of life in Asia. Asia has values that present alternatives to Western values. Nietzsche was the enfant terrible of Western philosophy. His writing was a tantrum against all things traditional. But his work is overrated. A few of his remarks, for example about fasting, reveal a remarkable superficiality of his "thought." Instead of rejecting faith, however, what is required is an examination of the understanding of faith. Hegel was wiser than Nietzsche. Hegel did not "throw out the baby with the bathwater." He attempted to retrieve the teaching of Jesus from a plethora of "unwarranted accretions," to free it of its "positive" elements. The marginalisation of revelation had important ramifications. Man became demoralized. The "burnout" of the West is palpable. Regeneration requires a retrieval of revelation. Revelation did not receive a fair trial from the Enlightenment. The disorientation inflicted by Nietzsche's thought on America has been highlighted by Allan Bloom, in his Closing of the American Mind. Revelation receded as an alternative worldview. Thus, it is necessary to resist European "thought" and its corroding effects. For while it presented itself as "emancipation," it brought a "closing of the mind." The heart of Europe became closed to faith. Disillusioned persons keep "dropping out" from the West. They work as expats, or they run businesses in diverse parts of the "emerging world." A few become "digital nomads." The present writer had a comparable experience. The nagging feeling that the knowledge I possessed was incomplete was there all along. I just could not ascertain what the problem was. I drifted from the University of Toronto, despite the rigor of its thinkers. After graduating, I worked in a few establishments in Toronto, at the matriculation level. I taught economics, geography, and Canadian as well as European history. After that, I went to Malaysia. I thought that after Malaysia, I would buy a fishing boat and sail it to America, preferably with a few trusted mates. Well, I never got to traverse the Pacific in a fishing boat. However, I did manage to traverse a different expanse, perhaps bigger than the Pacific. This is the distance between different faiths in the world and a re-discovery - in Islam - of the heritage that was veiled by the waves of "modernity," the different "isms," in particular liberalism, capitalism, egalitarianism and fascism. These worldviews invariably present themselves as "universal." However, an examination reveals that they are in fact limited and problematic.
I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist by Norman L. Geisler,Frank Turek Pdf
To some, the concept of having faith in a higher power or a set of religious beliefs is nonsensical. Indeed, many view religion in general, and Christianity in particular, as unfounded and unreasonable. Norman Geisler and Frank Turek argue, however, that Christianity is not only more reasonable than all other belief systems, but is indeed more rational than unbelief itself. With conviction and clear thinking, Geisler and Turek guide readers through some of the traditional, tested arguments for the existence of a creator God. They move into an examination of the source of morality and the reliability of the New Testament accounts concerning Jesus. The final section of the book deals with a detailed investigation of the claims of Christ. This volume will be an interesting read for those skeptical about Christianity, as well as a helpful resource for Christians seeking to articulate a more sophisticated defense of their faith.
