إسهام الإمام الأشعري في إرساء قواعد الحوار و تأسيس منهجية المراجعة و التقويم : عرض و تأصيل

Abstract EN

This article looks into an important aspect of the intellectual and methodological contributions of Abu al-Hasan al-Ash‘ari’s, by focusing on the principles and rules to establish a new mode of reasoning in Muslim intellectual life.

He did so at a crucial moment in the cultural development and historical evolution of Islamic civilization, thus opening new horizons for dialogue, evaluation and criticism among theological schools and intellectual movements in Muslim society.

It also attempts to relate al-Ash‘ari’s contribution to the preoccupations of the Muslim mind in modern times as Muslims endeavor to engage, in dialogue amongst themselves and with others who differ with them in religious faith, historical experience and civilizational set-up, but are tied up with them by the bonds of human unity and common historical destiny on Earth.
