In this CIK Talk, based on his book "Islam, Liberalism, and Ontology: A Critical Re-evaluation," Prof. Kaminski explores the foundational differences between Islam and liberalism. He emphasizes that while there are contemporary discussions about possible overlaps and congruences between the two, their core ontological categories remain distinct and must be understood as such.
