A Formal Treatment of Contrasting Socio-Scientific Epistemologies
摘要
The topic of Islamic worldview versus liberalism is discussed against the background of a rigorous theory and development of the episteme of unity of knowledge. Using simple topological method, the episteme of unity of divine knowledge reflected in the wide meaning of Tawhid in the Qur’an as the basis of the Islamic future is formalized and contrasted with that of liberalism as rationalist philosophy of methodological individualism and the marginalist doctrinaire. Also formalized by topological methods are the mathematical properties of universality and uniqueness of the Tawhidi worldview of unity of knowledge and its creative co-evolutionary process model involving knowledge-flows and knowledge-induced entities of world-systems.
