A Critical Study of the Book: God's intellect is the Scientific Basis for a Logical World

Sajjad Haydar

Summary
With the calming down of the revolting wave against rationalism and religion, and the Western intellect began to realize that its rebellion against intellect and religion was an excessive impulsive attitude that led Western civilization to fall into the laps of doubt, irrationality and spiritual emptiness, many attempts appeared by researchers and writers to exit this crisis. This particular book was a result of this context, where its author claimed to have become free from the psychological burden along the period of the industrial revolution, and set out with honest motives and sound foundations to undertake an objective study on the ability of intellect and experience to build an integrated worldview. However, the author he reach a result that both the intellect and experience were unable to do so. In the end, the author thought that the only way could be done by the way of witnessing of the heart and spiritual experience.

This study tries to show that this attempt suffers from fundamental problems concerning what is related to epistemic foundations, from which the author has set out to prove this theory, and that which concerns the standards of scientific research which should be observed in objective studies. As a result, the crisis of material thought cannot be solved by superficial attempts, but by total change in fundamentals and methods.
