Description: This book brings into sharp relief important dilemmas faced by the Muslim world today, especially in reference to modern science and technology. In three full-length articles and four focused conversations, Seyyed Hossein Nasr and Muzaffar Iqbal explore Islamic views on the origin of the cosmos and life, various dimensions of the relationship between Islam and science, Muslim attitudes toward modern science and technology, and the environmental crisis. At the heart of these wide-ranging conversations is what can perhaps be called the most pressing issue of our times: the future course of Islamic civilization.
