Islam and Science, Paperback / softback Book

Islam and Science Paperback / softback

Part of the Routledge Revivals series

Paperback / softback

Description

This title was first published in 2002. This text seeks to provide the necessary background for understanding the contemporary relationship between Islam and modern science.

Presenting an authentic discourse on the Islamic understanding of the physical cosmos, Muzaffar Iqbal explores God's relationship to the created world and the historical and cultural forces that have shaped and defined Muslim attitudes towards science.

What was Islamic in the Islamic scientific tradition?

How was it rooted in the Qur'anic worldview and whatever happened to it?

These are some of the facets of this account of a tradition that spans eight centuries and covers a vast geographical region.

Written from within, this ground-breaking exploration of some of the most fundamental questions in the Islam and science discourse, explores the process of appropriation and transformation of the Islamic scientific tradition in Europe during the three centuries leading up to the Scientific revolution.
