Document Summary
Use of reason and logic to test the truth of religious statements so that this statement"s truth is not taken for granted. Philosophy is interdependent and does not rely on religion. It begins with faith and ends with faith but there is no such guarantee in the philosophy. In religion faith is prior to reason and vise versa in philosophy. Clashes between the two: ghazzali-ibn sina-ibn rushd conflicts. Theology served jurisprudence (law) and the theologians served the scholar-jurists. If you needed help with the laws of islam and how to go about doing things, you were to go to theologians. Two groups emerged from this idea, the kharijites (early fundamentalists: against the idea you are not a. You can be a muslim anywhere as long as its in your heart) During ummayad dynasty, the jabarites (pro-ummayad and pro-state, believe in predestination) vs the qadarites (anti-ummayad, believe in free- will)
