[PDF] Epistemological Bias in the Physical and Social Sciences Abdelwahab M. Elmessiri

the international institute of islamic thought is pleased to
present this important work on Epistemological Bias in the Physical
and Social Sciences. These collection of papers explore in detail an
academic issue seldom given attention and largely taken for granted
in Muslim academic circles; a near total adoption as well as unqestioned
acceptance of paradigms, terminologies, and research models
that are alien to the socio-economic-religio realities of the Muslim
world. Written in a clear and lucid style, the book will benefit both
general and specialist readers alike increasing their awareness of the
existence of bias and the deep-seated cultural-specific values inherent
in alien paradigms.
