INTELEKTUALNO I TRADIRANO ZNANJE U ISLAMU
THE INTELLECTUAL AND THE TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE IN ISLAM

Summary/Abstract: In this work, we endeavored to point out the broader framework of the Islamic intellectual tradition, which is essentially calmed in the content of Islamic philosophy and Sufism as a form of intellectual or thinking Islam. The essential object of our focus in the narrower content framework was our focus on intellectual knowledge (’ilm ’aqlī, ma’rifa) on whose universal value the intellectual tradition of Islam is based, as opposed to the traditional knowledge (‹ilm naqlī) that establishes the juridical, ethical-moral and dogmatic aspect of applied or practicing Islam. The primordial human nature (fitra), exposed to the influence of the light of these two types of knowledge in the thinking tradition of Islam, appears at the same time as an ontological and epistemological theater (al-majlā) within which the Word of God, under the macrocosmic and sacred-historical view, is constantly transforming it (the human nature) and through its continuous spiritual and moral-ethical transformation, it puts on a luxurious interpretative and hermeneutic garb.
