Dr. Saad Ismail and Professor Saiyad Nizamuddin Ahmad engage in a stimulating and wide-ranging conversation on the following questions:
How do we define philosophy/wisdom? How do traditional ideas of philosophy differ from modern ones? How would one define Islamic philosophy? What intellectual currents paved the way to traditional cosmology becoming a ‘discarded image’ in the modern world? What has been the comparative fate of philosophy in the Sunni and the Shi’a world? How has the influence of Ghazali and Ash’ari nominalism contributed to the subsequent impoverishment of the Sunni philosophical landscape?
