ABSTRACT
The third exercise in engaging with different styles of reasoning draws upon recent scholarship in Islam that challenges ahistorical and decontextualized ‘world-view’ approaches. These take a more empirical and tradition-oriented stance that can acknowledge the diversity of ‘Islam’ both through and across time. Here, different thematics and ontologies radically interrupt western expectations and ways of going on. Connections with urgent contemporary situations in which multiple ontologies collide are then considered.
