Overview
- tal phenomenology/ontopoiesis of life.
- No simple historical comparative study, but focussing upon the meeting of intuitions in these two divergent philosophical areas underling their theories
- We prepare a unique forum bringing together Islamic Metaphysics and Occidental Phenomenology in a scholarly dialogue
- Focusing upon the intuition in-depth of great philosophical ideas and theories in these two divergent fields should lead to the deepening and harmonizing of their insights
- The collection provides also a succinct overview of the conceptions of timing of life and temporality in a historical survey of both areas
- Bringing out the phenomenon of change in our experience of the temporal unfolding of reality brings a challenge to the ancient classic and contemporary conception of temporality of life tied to some metaphysical conceptions of time and being. Consequently, the temporality of the real calls for an essential revision
- The classic conception of temporality referring to an absolute primacy of time in reality stretches over the entire metaphysical field of investigation from “the infinitely small to the infinitely great”. Islamic Metaphysics covers this entire expansion whereas contemporary continental thought truncates the dimension of the “infinitely great”, making their dialogue impossible.

About this book
From time immemorial, concern with timing of life has been crucial for the regulation of human praxis as well as for the philosophical quest to understand existence by seeking its meaning. The two used to inform each other, until modernity, when they parted. In spite of the extensive progress in manipulating change and motion, and of the abundance of metaphysical attempts to enlighten human beings about their fate, the puzzling nature of temporality and timing of reality remains controversial.
The present collection of studies seeks a new answer by initiating a novel investigation informed by the ancient wisdom of the Greaco-Arabic-Islamic sources and inheritance, on the one side, and the contemporary discernment of Occidental phenomenology of life, on the other, in a common dialogical effort to unravel this great enigma of existence.
