It addresses the problems of the unity of knowledge in learning systems, thereby invoking the foundations of Islamic epistemology. The author presents a phenomenological model of unity of knowledge in economics, ethics, science and society. Some critical areas where this model can be applied are also explored. As a foundational study on Islamic theory of knowledge covering the fields of Islamic economics, finance, science and society, the book will be valuable to researchers, practitioners and global academic institutions."EconomicsReligious aspectsIslamIslam and scienceKnowledge, Theory of (Islam)Electronic books.EconomicsReligious aspectsIslam.Islam and science.Knowledge, Theory of (Islam)297.2/7Choudhury Masudul Alam1948-120437MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458639503321The universal paradigm and the Islamic world-system2200390UNINA
