Jamal Khwaja

Jamal Khwaja (or, Ahmad Jamal Yusuf Khwaja, 12 August 1926 – 25 December 2020) was an Indian philosopher.

Between 1957 and 1962, he was a Member of Parliament for Aligarh. In 1962, he left politics and resumed his career as an academic. In 1980, he was appointed the Dean of the Faculty of Arts at Aligarh Muslim University.

The philosophical work of Khwaja has two facets: an analysis of the nature and causes of philosophical disagreement, and second, analysis of the religious dimension of life, with special reference to Islam. Jamal Khwaja's basic approach to philosophy and religion was irenic rather than polemical. Provided by Wikipedia
