Description

Islam and Science: Religious Orthodoxy and the Battle for Rationality by Pervez Hoodbhoy explores the complex relationship between science and Islamic tradition. A nuclear physicist's insightful analysis reveals how centuries of scientific achievements were hindered in the Muslim world, sparking questions about the role of faith and reason. Hoodbhoy's work offers a nuanced examination of the interplay between science and Islamic orthodoxy, shedding light on the factors that contributed to this paradoxical situation. This thought-provoking book is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the intersection of science, philosophy, and religion. With 176 pages of engaging content, this paperback edition provides a concise and accessible introduction to Hoodbhoy's ideas.
