Explorations in Islamic Science

Ziauddin Sardar

What happens when our very idea of knowledge stops making sense?

In a world shaped by Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, fake news and post-truth politics, the foundations of what we call “knowledge” are crumbling. Emerging Epistemologies brings together leading thinkers to explore how we know what we know—and why that matters more than ever. As traditional disciplines like economics and sociology lose relevance, and algorithm-driven capitalism reshapes truth itself, this groundbreaking volume asks urgent questions about power, culture, and the future of understanding.

From digital landscapes to “zombie” disciplines, from epistemological justice to the metaphysics of meaning, Emerging Epistemologies challenges readers to see through the smog of ignorance and imagine new ways of knowing that value diversity, sustainability, and social justice. Insightful, provocative, and deeply relevant, it offers a guide for navigating the chaos of postnormal times—and for rethinking knowledge itself.
