A living tradition.
A foundational
renewal.

Metaphysics

Reconsidering the starting point of metaphysics and the prospects of theoretical reason for metaphysical knowledge.

• The rootedness of discursive and receptive reason in being.
• A renewed principial foundation for metaphysics through faculty holism.
• Continuity of intelligibility across the orders of human experience.
• Engagement with Islamic philosophical schools and thinkers from Plato and Aristotle to Kant, Hegel, Husserl, and Heidegger.

Metaprincipial Logic

Investigating the metaphysical grounding of logic and the possibility of a metaphysically “vertical” logic.

• Reevaluating Aristotelian, Avicennan, Suhrawardian, Gelenbevian, and Biharian logic.
• Transcendentals and metaprinciples as logical operators.
• A critique of modern logic attentive to its successes.
• Logical form and matter, Platonic dialectic, Hegel, and an expansion of Gödel’s work beyond a syntactical interpretation.

Theophology

A reevaluation of theology explicitly synthesized with logic and metaphysics.

• The deep structure of intelligibility of the Qur’an as revealed word.
• Revelation’s relationship to the assent patterns of our innate cognitive structures.
• The mutual reinforcement of “descending” revelation and theophany with “ascending” deductive metaphysics.
• A faculty holism continuous with a hierarchically grounded account of reality.
