This book explores the possibility of a hermeneutics of the Qur'an.
It starts from the presupposition that the Qur'an can be studied as
a philosophical book. Thus the analysis is theoretical more than
historical. Many philosophers commented the Qur'an and many
supported their theories by resorting to the Qur'an. Thinkers like
Fakhr al-Din al-Razi connected traditional theology and philosophy
in their Qur'anic commentary. Others like Nasr Abu Zayd used
philosophy to deconstruct the Qur'an paving the way for a modern
humanistic hermeneutics. This book tries to go a step further: it
aims to offer a path within the Qur'an that - through philosophy -
leads to a fresh understanding of fundamental tenets of Islamic
thought, most importantly tawhid - God's oneness - and to a fresh
reading of the Qur'anic text. This book applies the
phenomenological and ontological hermeneutics of Edmund Husserl and
Martin Heidegger to the study of the Qur'an going far beyond
Annemarie Schimmel's phenomenological approach that is neither
philosophical nor properly phenomenological (in Husserl's sense).
