Demonstrating the vibrancy of an Early Modern Muslim society
through a study of the natural sciences in seventeenth-century
Morocco, Revealed Sciences examines how the natural sciences
flourished during this period, without developing in a similar way
to the natural sciences in Europe. Offering an innovative analysis
of the relationship between religious thought and the natural
sciences, Justin K. Stearns shows how nineteenth and
twentieth-century European and Middle Eastern scholars jointly
developed a narrative of the decline of post-formative Islamic
thought, including the fate of the natural sciences in the Muslim
world. Challenging these depictions of the natural sciences in the
Muslim world, Stearns uses numerous close readings of works in the
natural sciences to a detailed overview of the place of the natural
sciences in scholarly and educational landscapes of the Early
Modern Magreb, and considers non-teleological possibilities for
understanding a persistent engagement with the natural sciences in
Early Modern Morocco.
