Episode notes
Postmodernism's Core Shift
- Postmodernism rejects a single objective Truth in favor of multiple subjective truths and moral relativism.
- It emerged as a reaction to modernity's failure and the centering of the individual over tradition.
Individualism Versus Revealed Self
- Individualism inflates the self by making people the sole authors of truth, morality and meaning.
- Islamic tradition counters this by grounding self-understanding in revelation, not pure inward subjectivity.
Islamic Model Of The Self
- Islamic psychology maps ruh, nafs and fitra as layered realities guiding moral development.
- Purifying the nafs actualizes the ruh's original purity through prophetic guidance and practice.
