I am a literary and philosophical researcher devoted to the intersection of Classical Arabic textual culture and human intellectual history.
I build my academic work around two major research projects and a broader vision for integrating Arabic literary studies with philosophical and scientific thinking.
Research Focus
My research integrates Arabic textual traditions with analytical and philosophical approaches. I focus primarily on:
Arabic manuscript studies, with an emphasis on codicological analysis, textual verification, and authorial attribution.
Early Arabic literary texts (400–1100 CE), interpreted through rhetorical, philosophical, and historical frameworks.
The influence of Greek thought—particularly Protagorean relativism—on early Arabic literature and epistemology.
Arabic lexicography and historical semantics.
Comparative discourse theory, especially Naẓm Theory in Arabic literary criticism.
Ethical theory and the philosophy of science in relation to Arabic intellectual history.
▪ Mission Statement
I believe that the study of Arabic texts must go beyond philology into questions of meaning, epistemology, and human value.
My research seeks to uncover the deeper rational and philosophical structures embedded in Arabic literary and manuscript traditions.
I aim to connect Arabic humanities with broader intellectual currents, while remaining grounded in historical textual evidence.
▪ What I’m Looking For
I am currently seeking a quiet, research-centered academic environment—whether in the form of a fellowship, visiting scholar post, or collaborative research project—where I can fully dedicate myself to completing two major postdoctoral projects and further developing my broader research vision.
