Reason, Spirit and the Sacral in the New Enlightenment : Islamic Metaphysics Revived and Recent Phenomenology of Life Paperback / softback
Edited by Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka
Part of the Islamic Philosophy and Occidental Phenomenology in Dialogue series
Paperback / softback
Description
Rationality in its various expressions and innumerable applications sustains understanding and our sense of reality.
It is traditionally differentiated according to its sources in the soul: in consciousness, in reason, in experience, and in elevation.
Such a functional approach, however, leaves us searching for the common foundation harmonizing these rationalities. The perennial quest to resolve the aporias of rationality is finding in contemporary science’s focus on origins, on the generative roots of reality, tantalizing hints as to how this may be accomplished.
This project is enhanced by the wave of recent phenomenology/ontopoiesis of life, which reveals the workings of the logos at the root of beingness and all rationality, whereby we gaze upon the prospect of a New Enlightenment.
In the rays of this vision the revival of the intuitions of classical Islamic metaphysics, particularly intuition of the continuity of beingness in the gradations of life, receive fresh confirmation.
