Abstract

Choudhury’s criticism of the mainstream risk-return financial engineering is part of a long-standing effort to utilise topological spaces in an attempt to represent Islamic knowledge as a whole. The common thesis that consistently characterises Choudhury’s writings is a belief that analysis of topological spaces is the ideal approach to manifest the philosophy of Truth as against Falsehood in the religion of Islam – or the epistemology of Qur'an as he calls it. ‘Truthful’ Islamic knowledge thereby generates through a grand mathematical design of interactive, integrative and evolutionary topological spaces. Choudhury seems to have picked this mathematical methodology from humanomics, a Western school of human philosophy, which he then developed and proposed as a viable Islamic approach to socio-economic knowledge. --
