The Tokat Institute for Advanced Islamic Studies (TIAIS) is pleased to announce Professor Michael Rapoport of Florida Atlantic University as the recipient of its inaugural Article Prize for his essay, “The Unambiguous Truth (al-ḥaqq al-ṣarīḥ): Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī on Philosophy and the ‘Truth’ in His Compendium (Mulakhkhaṣ).”
Professor Rapoport’s work exemplifies exceptional analytic precision and carefully reasoned analysis, challenging current scholarly perspectives in offering a nuanced interpretation of the interplay between theology and philosophy in two of Rāzī’s important works.
His essay combines meticulous textual reading with fruitful scholarly debate, advancing Rāzī studies and postclassical Islamic intellectual history in innovative and promising directions.
Professor Rapoport’s article will be published in the first issue of Islamic Intellectual Traditions, TIAIS’ new journal published in partnership with Brill.
