THE UNIVERSE IN FLUX: RECONSIDERING ABŪ MANṢŪR AL-MĀTURĪDĪ'S METAPHYSICS AND EPISTEMOLOGY.

DORROLL, PHILIP
- Abstract
The article presents a study which demonstrates that the passages and concepts in Islamic scholar Abū Mansūr al-Māturīdī's theology point to a unique metaphysical vision based on the notion of flux that characterizes the universe. It analyses several metaphysical and epistemological terms in his theological work "Kitāb al-Tawhīd." It argues that these features of his theology were not incorporated into the influential text of Abū al-Muin al-Nasafī.
