افلاطون اور مولانا ایوب دہلوی کا تصورِعلم : تحقیقی و تقابلی تجزیہ Plato and Maulana Ayyub Dehlvi's concept of knowledge: An investigation and comparative analysis Section Islamic Literature

Abstract

In the contemporary postmodern age, knowledge has become subjective and relative. If knowledge becomes relative, then everything becomes permissible. Theorization of knowledge encompasses the moralities, ethics, aesthetics, and politics of any society. If a crisis arises in knowledge, then it manifests and actualizes in all its theorization. Plato and Molana Ayyub Dehlvi are the two thinkers who dealt with this crisis in their own time. Although both belong to different ontological realities and different eras, they both create the possibility of knowledge in their own times. Plato is a well-known philosopher in the history of philosophy, while Molana Ayyub was not very renowned, but he was very well grounded and trained like a philosopher. His intellectual contribution belongs to theology, a rational tradition of Islamic discourse. This research is actually emphasis on the comparative analysis of both thinker’s conception of knowledge. What is their conception of knowledge? How do they both create the possibility of knowledge? This study also emphasizes the relevance of both thinkers' knowledge conceptions and investigates the commonalities in their thoughts. This study shows that philosophy and religion are on the same page, as one represents philosophy and one represents religion. Also, how indispensable it is to assume an unknown for consciousness and intellect to be functional. This is the point where philosophy and religion are on the same page. Both Plato and Maulana Ayyub created the possibility of knowledge from this. This research also emphasizes how important and valuable the knowledge bases of both are in today's era.
