Summary:

"How did Bediuzzaman use the science of logic while shaping his system of thought and proving his belief? How did he refute arguments put forward by the materialist understanding and naturalists? How did he travel from the intraatomic worlds to the belief of tawhid? What is Bediuzzaman`s "two wisdom" analysis and why is it important? This book is a study to understand Bediuzzaman`s astonishing personality and works. Prof. Nevzat Tarhan analyzes Bediuzzaman Said Nursi`s contemplation system, view of the universe and the results he came up with in terms of faith. Tarhan identifies the modern scientific methods Bediuzzaman used in his writings and explains the great thinker`s views both in an academic and comprehensible manner"--Publisher's description.
