<P>THIS BOOK EXAMINES ALL VERSES OF THE QURAN INVOLVING KNOWLEDGE RELATED CONCEPTS. IT BEGINS WITH THE ARGUMENT THAT AN ANALYSIS OF THE QURANIC CONCEPT OF IGNORANCE POINTS TO EPISTEMIC VIRTUES THAT CAN PAVE OUR WAY TOWARDS GAINING KNOWLEDGE AND/OR UNDERSTANDING. IT DEALS WITH THE QURANIC CONCEPTS OF PERCEPTUAL, RATIONAL, AND REVELATORY KNOWLEDGE AS WELL AS UNDERSTANDING AND WISDOM IN THE LIGHT OF RECENT DISCUSSIONS IN WESTERN ANALYTIC EPISTEMOLOGY. IT ALSO ARGUES THAT THE RELEVANT QURANIC VERSES SEEM TO INVOLVE CONCEPT OF AN EPISTEMIC CONSCIENCE WHOSE PROPER EXERCISE CAN YIELD KNOWLEDGE OR UNDERSTANDING. WHILE NOT OVERLOOKING THE QURANIC EMPHASIS ON REVELATION AS A SOURCE OF KNOWLEDGE, THE BOOK DRAWS OUR ATTENTION TO A REMARKABLE OVERLAP BETWEEN SOME STRAINS OF CONTEMPORARY VIRTUE EPISTEMOLOGY AND QURANIC APPROACH TO KNOWLEDGE. IT SHOWS THAT THE QURANIC VERSES SUGGEST A PROGRESSIVE SEQUENCE FROM PROPOSITIONAL KNOWLEDGE TO UNDERSTANDING TO WISDOM.</P><P></P>

Biografía del autor:
This book examines all verses of the Quran involving knowledge related concepts. It begins with the argument that an analysis of the Quranic concept of ignorance points to epistemic virtues that can pave our way towards gaining knowledge and/or understanding. It deals with the Quranic concepts of perceptual, rational, and revelatory knowledge as well as understanding and wisdom in the light of recent discussions in Western analytic epistemology. It also argues that the relevant Quranic verses seem to involve concept of an epistemic conscience whose proper exercise can yield knowledge or understanding. While not overlooking the Quranic emphasis on revelation as a source of knowledge, the book draws our attention to a remarkable overlap between some strains of contemporary virtue epistemology and Quranic approach to knowledge. It shows that the Quranic verses suggest a progressive sequence from propositional knowledge to understanding to wisdom.
