  • Paradox and Relativism

    Paradox and Relativism H. Muhammad Legenhausen Professor of philosophy, The Imam Khomeini Education and Research Institute, Qom E-mail: [email protected] First Published in: University of Tabriz- Iran, Philosophical Investigations Vol. 11/ No. 21/ Fall & Winter 2017 Abstract Since the time of Plato, relativism has been attacked as a self-refuting theory. Today, there are two basic kinds of argument that are used to show that global relativism is logically incoherent: first, a direct descendent of the argument Plato uses against Protagoras, called the peritrope; and, second, a more recent argument that relativism leads to an infinite regress. Although some relativist theories may be formulated in such a way as to be susceptible to these arguments, there are other versions of relativism that are impervious to these charges of incoherence. First the arguments against relativism will be stated. Next, a radical form of global relativism with assessment sensitivity is

  • Divine Knowledge in Islamic Philosophy

    Divine Knowledge in Islamic Philosophy Hajj Muhammad Legenhausen Hajj Muhammad Legenhausen teaches at the Imam Khomeini Education and Research Institute in Qom, Iran. His blog can be accessed at http://peacethroughunderstanding.blogspot.com *********** The Illuminationist solution was further developed and elaborated by Mulla Sadra. According to Sohravardi, Tusi, and Mulla Sadra, God’s knowledge should not be conceived as forms inscribed in the divine essence, as it appears to be for Farabi and Ibn Sina. Sohravardi and Tusi sometimes write of God’s knowledge of things as if it is identical with the things themselves. When Ghazali issued his Takfir (declaring one an apostate) of Ibn Sina and his followers in his book The Incoherence of the Philosophers, the three main issues for which he condemned philosophy for its incompatibility with religious belief were: (1) the doctrine of the eternal past of the material world; (2) the doctrine of the limitations of divine
