Examining Discourses on Integration of Philosophy and Religion (Analysis from Al-Ghazali to Al-Attas)
Abstract
Abstract
The discourse on the integration of philosophy and religion is important because they
are an essential aspect of society. This paper first tries to understand philosophy and religion,
their terminologies and definitions, and theories in relating philosophy and religion. The main
section of this article examines Muslim thinkers’ views on philosophy and religion and frames
them in Barbour’s theory of integration. While it emphasizes Al-Ghazāli’s view on Reason
and Revelation and Ibn Sīnā’s view on Reason and Revelation, it also discusses the thoughts
of Al-Farabi, Ibn Taymiyyah, Sir Muhammad Iqbal, and Syed Muhammad Naquib alAttas. There are similarities and differences in Muslim scholars’ views on the integration
of philosophy and religion. Regardless of their differences, we found that all of them are
still in Barbour’s definition of Integration, not Dialogue, independence, or even Conflict.
Keywords: Integration of Philosophy and Religion, Al-Ghazali, Al-Attas, Ibn Sīnā, Al-Farabi.
