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. 410 0$aMiddle East studies (Routledge (Firm)) 606 $aIslamic law$zIran$xPhilosophy 606 $aIslamic law$xPhilosophy 615 0$aIslamic law$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aIslamic law$xPhilosophy. 676 $a340.5/9/0955 700 $aDahlen$b Ashk.$0986569 701 $aDahlen$b Ashk$0986569 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783882503321 996 $aIslamic law, epistemology and modernity$93797182 997 $aUNINA
