Religious Science
Most Classic Islamic Philosophers believed in a naive realism or intuition based theories for achieving knowledge from the external world. Either of these perspectives or a combination of them has led some to conclude that a science based on religion can lead to infallible knowledge. However, Bagheri argues that a religious science is only possible through interference of religious elements in the presupposition of a theory and hence will remain a science tout court, and its religious presuppositions will not guarantee an infallible knowledge.
