Event starts at 15:00 BST
This lecture explores various historical and doctrinal aspects of Ism朝l朝 traditions, especially the notions of knowledge and authority from theAlam笛tperiod to the modern time; modernity and the move of the seat of the Ism朝l朝Imamateto the Western world. Key points of transformation in the Ism朝l朝 discourse during these periods will be discussed, including its openness, spiritual emphasis on the understanding of ritual law, its metaphysical and comprehensive cosmological dimensions, and the esoteric (b畊in朝) approaches to understanding the world and faith. The talk will address these points in the wider context of theIsm朝l朝sand their interactions with various Muslim communities and fields of thought, includingSufismand philosophy. This will allow a fresh perspective on the history, cultures, and beliefs of theIsm朝l朝s, and will address some of the recent misconceptions surrounding them in recent scholarship and media platforms.
