Ep.31 - Jared Morningstar: Dialogue & Understanding Beyond Islam & The West

SENSESPACE

A conversation exploring the dialogue occurring within, between & beyond 'Islam and the West'. Many years of enquiry led up to this dialogue between myself and Jared Morningstar. We both brought a sense of the sacred to this important and often contentious dialogue-space and were able to cover wide terrain:

In what ways are the West and Islam already in dialogue and what possibilities are there for religious unity? What is the nature of Islam & how do Salafi ideas shape Islam today?

What historic similarities and differences are there between Islam & Christendom?

What role does Western Islamic scholarship have to play?

How might psychedelics interact with Islamic thought?

Jared is an independent academic specializing in 20th century religious philosophy, Islamic studies, and interfaith dialogue. He is the Founder of ‘Alif: Traditional Wisdom in Review-a publication exploring the intersection of Classical Islamic Sources and the Western Intellectual tradition. He is also a designer/photographer and cultivates an artful instagram feed @jared_morningstar
