From Historiography to Philosophical Engagement: The Future of Islamic Philosophy

Time: April 5, 2019, 3:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.

Location: Kittredge Auditorium, HBC

How can Arabic and Islamic philosophy actively contribute to contemporary philosophical debates? How can a philosophical rather than a historiographical approach to the study of this tradition contribute to the much needed diversity in the study and pedagogy of philosophy and the humanities at large? This keynote address kicks off a 2-day conference responding to these questions.
