ABSTRACT

The quest for a systematic unity of the universe in all of its manifestations is a common topic in Western thought.  In this book the author shows what Islam can bring to this field of human enquiry.  Defining a paradigm of Islamic political economy and world systems, he presents a study of epistemology in the light of general systems derived from the Qur'anic premise.  The result is an intellectual endeavour without any dogmatic or reglious and philosophoical enquiry.   First published in 2001. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
