Abstract

In this paper we are examining the epistemology and its questions and implications from western perspective. Also, we look into few correlated ideas such as paradigm and concept of integration of knowledge.

Tracing the roots for these concepts from Islamic perspectives and looking into similarities and differences to lead to a better holistic approach to knowledge and its implications.
