Interdisciplinary Passage Through the Human Sciences: The Methodological Philosophy of Mohammed Arkoun

This scholarly paper aims to shed light on the plurality of approaches in the thought of Mohammed Arkoun, rang-ing from linguistics to historical anthropology. Through these methodologies, Arkoun sought to deconstruct the intellectual rigidity deeply rooted in Islamic heritage and to understand it as a complex phenomenon shaped by political and social interactions. The study focuses on the extent to which Arkoun succeeded in transcending tradi-tional dichotomies—such as heritage versus modernity—without falling into epistemological contradictions. It also highlights his attempt to reconcile scientific criticism of sacred texts with the respect for their sanctity within reli-gious discourse. Furthermore, the paper underscores the contribution of his project, "Applied Islamology," in breaking the isolation experienced by Islamic thought and in opening horizons for global civilizational dialogue, making his work a pioneering effort in renewing Islamic studies within modern intellectual frameworks.
