Rejecting Materialism: Responses to Modern Science in the Muslim Middle East
International Handbook of Research in History Philosophy and Science Teaching, 2013Co-Authors: Taner Edis, Saouma BoujaoudeAbstract:In the past centuries, most Muslims have encountered Modern Science as a Western import. To avoid being overwhelmed by the military and commercial advantages enjoyed by technologically advanced nations, Middle Eastern Muslim societies had to begin adopting Modern knowledge. As westernization started to shape social structures and institutions as well as technologies, conservative Muslim responses to Modern Science typically became conditioned by the demands of cultural defense. Many Muslim thinkers argued that upholding the religious character of Muslim civilization meant borrowing technology but rejecting the perceived materialism pervading the conceptual frameworks of Modern Science. This defensive approach remains prominent in present Muslim thinking about Science. Almost all religiously oriented Muslim thinkers take harmony between Science and Islam for granted, but in practice, conservative Muslims often express deep reservations about the naturalistic perspectives dominating Modern Science. Especially in the popular literature, religiously motivated distortions of Science are common. Darwinian evolution is a particular target of rejection.

Modern Science and Conservative Islam: An Uneasy Relationship
Science & Education, 2009Co-Authors: Taner EdisAbstract:Familiar Western debates about religion, Science, and Science education have parallels in the Islamic world. There are difficulties reconciling conservative, traditional versions of Islam with Modern Science, particularly theories such as evolution. As a result, many conservative Muslim thinkers are drawn toward creationism, hopes of Islamizing Science, or other ways to retain the primacy of faith while continuing efforts to catch up with Modern technology. Muslims argue that Science and Islam coexist in harmony, but both intellectually and institutionally, the Islamic world harbors many tensions between Science and religion.
