New Publication!
Safaruk Chowdhury and I present Analytic Islamic Epistemology: Critical Debates.
We curate 15 chapters from intellectual historians, comparative religionists, and Christian and Islamic epistemologists.
With a substantial Introduction and final Afterword, this book takes the field of Islamic epistemology forward, especially in dialogue with contemporary debates in analytic religious epistemology. A big thanks to all those who contributed to making this book possible.

True academic success is when a major journal rejects your paper on the basis of an incompetent and shockingly unhinged review, and you just don't give a shit.
My article with @JalajelDav31180 in which we reconstruct al-Maturidi's bundle ontology and concurrentist causal theory in detail, applying it to the question of free will, miracles (and more) has been published in Journal of Islamic Philosophy. Here: https://t.co/TK0CeXUQXv
بعد تنسيق مثمر بيني وبين الأستاذ الجليل البروفيسور عبدالعزيز برغوث (عقب مشاركتنا في مؤتمر الرياض الدولي للفلسفة 2024)، تشرفنا بدعوة البروفيسور @ThinkinBooth – أحد عمالقة الفلسفة في جامعة ساسيكس – ليلقي محاضرة أستاذية في الحادي عشر من يونيو المقبل، تحت عنوان: «الفلسفة الإسلامية التحليلية وأثرها المعاصر» في المعهد الدولي للفكر الإسلامي والحضارة ISTAC - IIUM
وليسعدني ذِكر أن البروفيسور بوث كان مشرفي الأكاديمي خلال مرحلة الماجستير في أجمل جامعة في العالم: جامعة ساسيكس، فكانت تلك الفترة بمثابة البوابة التي عرّفتني على جوهر الفلسفة الحقيقي، بل وإلى معنى التفلسف ذاته. واليوم، أجدني أمضي قدما في ترجمة بعض أعماله التي تجسّد عمقًا فكريًا نادرًا، إذ تسد فيها الفلسفة الفجوات بين الثقافات، لتكشف عن المشترك الإنساني الأصيل. وسيقدّم المحاضرة البروفيسور عبدالعزيز برغوث، بينما تتولى إدارتها الدكتورة الفاضلة نور العين نورمان.
On 11th June, Professor @ThinkinBooth will deliver a professorial lecture at ISTAC-IUM, titled: Islamic Analytic Philosophy and Its Contemporary Relevance. The session will be introduced by Professor Abdulaziz Berghout and moderated by Dr. Nurul Ain Norman.
I must say Professor Booth— a true giant in his field—was my master’s supervisor, @SussexUni (hands down the most stunning campus on the planet) and it was through him that I genuinely came to understand what philosophy means. I’m currently translating some of his works, which reflect a rare depth: when you read him, you sense not just rigorous thought but a profound unity in human experience. His writing transcends differences—social, linguistic—and speaks to the shared core of intellect and humanity… In his texts, you encounter the human as human… Qua human.

Two months ago, I launched a blog on Political Epistemology, and I've been thoroughly enjoying the writing process. I just published my fifth article, exploring Political Skepticism and Humility. Link in the comments.
Thrilled that my paper "Non-ideal Theory as Ideology" has been accepted at Journal of Ethics and Social Philosophy!
