Elements in Islam and the Sciences is a new platform for the exploration, critical review and concise analysis of Islamic engagements with the sciences: past, present and future. The series will not only assess ideas, arguments and positions but it will also present novel views that push forward the frontiers of the field. Each Element will contain both a systematic reconstruction of the state of knowledge and an evaluative discussion of a given topic. Our intent is to offer the go-to pedagogical site for researchers, students and a broader educated public – as well as a new point of departure for ongoing discussions. ‘The sciences’ are understood here to mean predominantly the natural and applied sciences; but there will be scope too to explore areas and fields that lie somewhat beyond these parameters. The Elements will thus evince strong philosophical, theological, historical, and social dimensions as they address interactions between Islam and a wide range of scientific subjects.
