Description : 

Islam & Natural Philosophy: Principles of Daqiq al-Kalam presents the works of theologians regarding Natural Philosophy including their views on space, time, motion, matter and the rest of the natural world. These topics, called “Daqi'q al-Kalam” complement the other part of kalam regarding divinity (Ilahiyat), called “Jalil al-Kalam”.

The novel contribution of Altaie is his discovery that the scholars based their arguments on five basic principles :

  *** Temporality,
  *** Atomism,
  *** Continual re-Creation,
  *** Contingency and Indeterminacy of the World,
  *** Integrity of Space and Time.
