Islam and the Enlightenment: the forgotten dimension of the modern world
Exploring the first postulate of Iqbal’s conceptual framework, i.e. the common worldview of Islam and the modern West. Rejecting the ideas that later became the basis of such myths as the clash of civilizations, Iqbal observed that the intellectual culture of the modern West is “a further development of some of the earlier stages of Islam”. This course involves an in-depth study of some key passages from the pioneers of European Enlightenment in the light of Iqbal’s interpretation of the Quran, in order to discover some practical solutions for our times.
