- More about God, Science, and Self: Muhammad Iqbal's Reconstruction of Religious Thought
Muhammad Iqbal (d. 1938) was a prominent modernist Islamic thinker whose work explored the relationship between God, science, and self. His magnum opus, The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam, has been a source of debate due to its eclectic themes and contradictory arguments. Nauman Faizi's book argues that Iqbal's epistemologies of knowledge, which include descriptive, essential, foundational, and binary approaches, shape his claims about personhood, God, scripture, philosophy, and science. It offers a unique interpretation of Islamic thought that connects scriptural texts, philosophical ideas, and scientific claims for modern Muslim subjects.

Muhammad Iqbal (d. 1938) was a prominent modernist Islamic thinker of the early twentieth century, known for his work as a poet, politician, philosopher, and public intellectual. His work continues to be influential in contemporary conversations about Islam, modernity, and tradition. "God, Science, and Self" examines the patterns of reasoning in Iqbal's philosophic magnum opus, "The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam," which is widely regarded as the most significant text of modernist Islamic philosophy. The book has left scholars in a quandary due to its eclectic themes and contradictory arguments. In this groundbreaking study, Nauman Faizi argues that the key to demystifying the contradictions of "The Reconstruction" lies in two competing epistemologies at play within the work. Iqbal takes knowledge to be descriptive, essential, foundational, and binary, but he also takes knowledge to be performative, contextual, probabilistic, and vague. Faizi demonstrates how these approaches to knowledge shape Iqbal's claims about personhood, God, scripture, philosophy, and science. "God, Science, and Self" offers an original approach to interpreting Islamic thought by crafting relationships between scriptural texts, philosophical thought, and scientific claims for modern Muslim subjects.
