Info autore
Basit Bilal Koshul is associate professor at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) in Lahore, Pakistan. After teaching at Concordia College in Moorhead, MN for four years, he joined the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at LUMS in 2006. The focus of his research is to recover the neglected resources in modern thought and religious tradition (especially scripture) that can help to transform the mutually debilitating dichotomies of religion/science, North/South, West/Islam, economics/ethics, security/rights etc. into mutually enriching relationships. He sees the work of Muhammad Iqbal, Charles Peirce, and Max Weber, individually but much more so collectively, as a promising starting point for initiating the transformation of divides into relationships.
