Imran Aijaz

I am an Associate Professor of Philosophy in the Department of Language, Culture, and the Arts at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, where I have been a faculty member since 2010. Prior to this, I completed a PhD in Philosophy at the University of Auckland, New Zealand in 2009.

My research focuses primarily on Analytic Philosophy of Religion and Islamic Philosophy. Across these two areas, I am especially interested in the topics of faith and reason, religious epistemology, religious diversity, and religious pluralism. I also have an interest in Ancient Philosophy and its reception by Jewish, Christian, and Islamic thinkers in the Middle Ages. My book Islam: A Contemporary Philosophical Investigation (Routledge 2018) brings reflection on many of these topics to bear on the Philosophy of Religion. I have also published several essays on these topics in a variety of academic journals and books.
