EPISTEMOLOGICAL, ONTOLOGICAL AND AXIOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN POSTMODERNISM AND ISLAMIC PHILOSOPHY
Islomjon Nurmurodov ,Abstract
This article provides a philosophical analysis of the epistemological, ontological, and axiological differences between Islamic philosophy and postmodernism. Drawing on the ideas of prominent postmodern thinkers such as Jean-François Lyotard, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Derrida, the study examines the relativization of truth, skepticism toward metanarratives, the deconstruction of the subject, and the socially constructed nature of knowledge. In contrast, the paper demonstrates that within the classical tradition of Islamic philosophy—represented by thinkers such as Abu Nasr al-Farabi, Ibn Sina (Avicenna), and Abu Hamid al-Ghazali—truth is understood as a reality grounded in an ontological foundation, originating from a transcendent source and serving as a basis for moral and normative order. The study argues that the metaphysical realism of Islamic philosophy can offer a systematic critical response to postmodern relativism. At the same time, the critical methodology of postmodernism may also function as an important intellectual tool that alerts religious thought to the potential dangers of dogmatism. The article concludes that the relationship between Islamic philosophy and postmodernism should not be interpreted merely as an antagonistic opposition, but rather as a complex interaction between different philosophical paradigms that, in certain respects, may complement each other.
