| Abstract: | The notion of ‘Islamic science’ is itself problematic, since science as currently understood is historically rooted in Christianity, with recent practice having secularized science. A possible relationship may be derived from the complex metaphysical relationship between monotheism and the development of science. This article tracks these developments through the rise of secularization, the decline of scientism, and monotheism and polytheism in the coming ‘post-scientific age’. In its moral outlook and emphasis on commitment and surrender, the possibility and necessity of an Islamic science are to be found. |
