Metaphysics and the question of being
What does it mean for something to exist? Why is there something rather than nothing? From Aristotle and Ibn Sina to Mulla Sadra and Heidegger, we study the deepest question of all.
The path of thought
Philosophy
Philosophy is the love of wisdom: the patient effort to understand reality, knowledge, value and ourselves. At Khalwat we study it as a living conversation between Islamic, Eastern and Western traditions.
Islamic philosophy
Al-Kindi, Al-Farabi, Ibn Sina, Al-Ghazali, Ibn Rushd, Suhrawardi, Mulla Sadra, Shah Waliullah and Allama Iqbal: a tradition that joined reason, revelation and spiritual insight.
Western philosophy
From Socrates, Plato and Aristotle to Descartes, Kant, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Husserl, Heidegger and Wittgenstein: how the West has asked about truth, mind and meaning.
Eastern philosophy
Laozi, Confucius, Zhuangzi, the Buddha, Nagarjuna, Shankara, Dogen and Tagore: the wisdom of China, India and Japan on the self, harmony and the way.
