Futures of the Study of Islamic Philosophy– a Roundtable Discussion

Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)

What does the study of Islamic Philosophy look like in the third millennium? What are significant and recent developments with regard to its methodological commitments, critical concerns, and primary text materials? How are scholars moving beyond previous generations’ commitments, assumptions, and disagreements, particularly considering major shifts in the larger study of Islam as well as broader political developments today?

This roundtable assembles a diverse group of scholars from a variety of institutions and departmental homes that all understand their work to contribute to the shaping of new futures in the study of Islamic philosophy.
