In the second of five volumes, Choudhury (economics, U. College of Cape Breton) presents an epistemological focus on the Hereafter in Islamic socio-scientific knowledge. He explains it as congruent with the Tawhidi attribute of the Oneness of Allah, and in terms of the two-way inter-relationship between the Hereafter and the knowledge-flows of phenomena concerning the temporal world systems. He also considers the Qur'anic precept of justice. Readers should have a solid background in epistemology. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
