Keywords:
Criticism, Islamic Epistemology, Muhammad Abed al-JabiriAbstract
This study discusses the Epistemological Criticism of Islam in the Thought of Muhammad Abed Al-Jabiri with the aim of describing and analyzing the epistemological criticism of Islam put forward by Muhammad Abed al-Jabiri and the influence of Muhammad Abed al-Jabiri's thought on the development of Islamic epistemology in the contemporary era. The method used in this study is library research with a philosophical and historical approach. Data analysis techniques are carried out qualitatively using inductive and deductive methods, based on relevant primary and secondary sources. The results of the study show that Muhammad Abed al-Jabiri (1935–2010) was a Muslim philosopher from Morocco who was widely known for his major intellectual project Naqd al-Aql al-Arabi (Critique of Arab Reason). Muhammad Abed al-Jabiri criticized the way of thinking in Islamic epistemology (bayani and irfani reason) because it was considered to hinder the intellectual progress of the ummah, and offered the rehabilitation of burhani reason as a rational and contextual epistemological solution.
