The paper discusses four different responses by Muslim elites to the challenges of modernity and post-modernity. The paper suggests a conjecture concerning the main epistemological cause of Muslims underdevelopment and follows this by critically assessing one particular project, namely, Islamisation of Knowledge, as a typical case which exemplifies the conjecture in question.</p>}, number={4}, journal={ICR Journal}, author={Paya, Ali}, year={2013}, month={Oct.}, pages={548–561} }
