Summary/Abstract: Muslim understanding of modern science is predominantly marked by its instrumentalist conception according to which modern science is metaphysically and ethically neutral. Such understanding of modern science overlooks its basic epistemistic and methodic event which lies in abstract mathematical, leveling, reductionistic plan, set up before any research, that determines the way in which beings or happenings are being thrown to the very research. In such a predominantly Muslim understanding Naquib al-Atttas stands out with his own critical position. He belongs to the circle of contemporary Muslim thinkers who have devoted significant attention to the consideration and revival of Islamic philosophy, knowledge and education in which horizons one should seek answers to the challenges of modern technological scientific western culture.
