İbrahim Kalın

İbrahim Kalın (born 1971) is an academic and author whose work connects Islamic philosophy, intellectual history, and questions of civilisation. Knowledge in Later Islamic Philosophy Mullā Ṣadrā on Existence, Intellect, and Intuition is the strongest entry into his scholarly method because it develops a sustained account of Mullā Ṣadrā's theory of knowledge. Mullā Ṣadrā offers a more concentrated route to the same philosopher, while The Oxford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Science, and Technology in Islam broadens the field across many thinkers and disciplines. Readers interested in political and ethical questions can turn to Islam and Peace: A Survey of the Sources of Peace in the Islamic Tradition, which belongs to a different strand of his work. The contrast between these books reveals Kalın's movement from close philosophical study to a wider discussion of religious tradition.
