By understanding al-Ghazālī as an Ash’arite theologian, a particular strand of Sunni theology, his metaphysical and hermeneutic ideas are taken to explore if and how much Neo-Darwinian evolution can be accepted. It is shown that his ideas can be used to reach an alignment between Islam and Neo-Darwinian evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book offers a detailed examination that seeks to offer clarity if not agreement in the midst of an intense intellectual conflict and polarity amongst Muslims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart 1 – Setting the Context\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 What Evolution Is and Isn’t\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 Christian Responses to Evolution\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart 2 – Islamic Perspectives on Evolution\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 Islamic Scripture and Evolution\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 Muslim Opinions on Evolution\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 Old Texts, New Masks: Misreading Evolution onto Historical Islamic Texts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart 3 – Metaphysical Considerations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 Naturalism, Chance, and Inefficiency\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 Intelligent Design\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 Morality and Evolution\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart 4 – Hermeneutic Considerations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9 Al-Ghazālī’s Hermeneutics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 Creationism or Evolution in Islamic Scripture?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39427119808547,"sku":"9781032026572","price":98.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2514\/8624\/products\/59418ae24fdeef542a4eac37e5fa168b157ed264.jpg?v=1629697604","url":"https:\/\/wardahbooks.mom\/products\/islam-and-evolution-al-ghazali-and-the-modern-evolutionary-paradigm","provider":"Wardah Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
