I am currently Professor of Ethics and Epistemology at the University of Sussex, UK. I specialise in the Ethics of Belief, both in the Anglo-American and Islamic traditions of Philosophy. Recent books include Islamic Philosophy & the Ethics of Belief (2016) and Analytic Islamic Philosophy (2018). My interest in Islamic Philosophy originates from my having spent many of my teenage years in Aleppo, Syria. I am extremely interested in efforts to de-colonise Philosophy, and attempt a non-Orientalist discourse for Islamic Philosophy by treating it as a direct contributor to modern debates (and not just an historical artefact). An interview about me and some of my research is available here: https://www.3-16am.co.uk/articles/analytic-islamic-philosophy-and-moderate-evidentialism
