Description

the international institute of islamic thought is pleased to present this important work on Epistemological Bias in the Physical and Social Sciences. These collection of papers explore in detail an academic issue seldom given attention and largely taken for granted in Muslim academic circles; a near total adoption as well as unqestioned acceptance of paradigms, terminologies, and research models that are alien to the socio-economic-religio realities of the Muslim world. Written in a clear and lucid style, the book will benefit both general and specialist readers alike increasing their awareness of the existence of bias and the deep-seated cultural-specific values inherent in alien paradigms.
