Abstract

This paper seeks to examine the idea of epistemological openness and fluidity proposed by several progressive Muslim thinkers. In so doing, it combines theoretical investigation and analysis of the works of several leading Muslim thinkers of this persuasion. It argues that in strengthening the spirit to build a world order (in terms of economic, political, cultural and knowledge systems) that is more just, dialogical and contributive to solving humanitarian and ecological problems, epistemological openness and fluidity offered by progressive Muslim thinkers should be considered as an alternative basis for the revitalization of the Islamic civilization that is inclusive, cosmopolitan and dialogical, yet critical of all forms of hegemony and injustice.
