As the characteristic features of traditional epistemic considerations have a direct bearing on the modern development of Islamic legal thought, the contemporary positions are initially set against the established normative repertory of Islamic tradition. It is within this broad examination of a living legacy of interpretation that the context for the concretizations of traditional as well as modern Islamic learning, are enclosed.Middle East studies (Routledge (Firm))Islamic lawIranPhilosophyIslamic lawPhilosophyElectronic books.Islamic lawPhilosophy.Islamic lawPhilosophy.340.5/9/0955Dahlen Ashk.Dahlen Ashk986569FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910451067403321Islamic law, epistemology and modernity2254800UNINA
