Knowledge and life: comparative Islamic development perspectives

Abstract

The concept of knowledge in the knowledge-based new economy is critically examined in the light of its inability to offer human lives with greater well-being. The other forms of new attention economy are shown to have appeared as challenges to the capitalist globalisation raised under the banner of discontent and demand for a more meaningful human relationship within the knowledge economy. Yet these developments are shown to be inadequate for human well-being on methodological grounds. The Qur'anic worldview of knowledge and life is then expounded as the ever-new foundation and application of a universal socio-scientific methodology for reconstructing the individual and social order.
