The conference will discuss the epistemic condition of modernity in contemporary Muslim thought. The point of departure is the comprehensive thesis by Lahouari Addi about the persistence of Greek metaphysical framework informing Muslim theology and discourse. The conference will debate both the thesis, and philo-sophical attempts to overcome so conceived epistemic gap between Muslim religious discourse and the ef-fects of modernity.
