Pasts and Futures of Islamic Process Theology | Process Pop-Up

In this Pop-Up, Jared Morningstar presents Islamic process theologies, overviewing resonances between existing Muslim philosophies and cosmologies with contemporary process perspectives, and also exploring the emerging forms of explicit Islamic process theologies.

Some topics explored in this pop-up include:

• Intellectual and spiritual developments in Islamic history that are resonant with process thought
• Muhammad Iqbal’s Islamic process theology and the influence of Alfred North Whitehead and Henri Bergson on his thought
• Adis Duderija’s scholarship on progressive Islam and process thought
• Recent Muslim engagement with Gilles Deleuze as another form of Islamic process thought

This conversation introduces these different historic and contemporary forms of Muslim process thinking, exploring the possibilities for further development as well as the barriers to broader interest in Islamic process theology.
