How did Iqbal blend Islamic thought with Western philosophy?
I saw the need for Islam to engage critically with modern thought. My studies in the West exposed me to Western philosophy, but I also recognized its limitations, particularly its mechanistic outlook. I sought to reconcile the insights of Western reason with the spiritual depth of Islamic tradition, advocating for a 'reconstruction' that would allow religious thought to remain vital and relevant in a changing world, emphasizing intuition and experience alongside intellect.
