Along the way, Ramadan interrogates the concepts that frame current debates including: faith and reason, emotions and spirituality, tradition and modernity, freedom, equality, universality, and civilisation. He acknowledges the greatest flashpoints and attempts to bridge divergent paths to a common ground between these religious and intellectual traditions. He calls urgently for a deep and meaningful dialogue that leads us to go beyond tolerant co-existence to mutual respect and enrichment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tariq Ramadan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1408,"featured_media":11759,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_expiration-date-status":"saved","_expiration-date":0,"_expiration-date-type":"","_expiration-date-categories":[],"_expiration-date-options":[]},"categories":[109],"tags":[98,62],"coauthors":[158],"class_list":["post-3500","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-podcast","tag-nonwesternphilosophy","tag-philosophy-of-religion"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/files\/2020\/06\/interview-wide2.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6zUjQ-Us","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3500","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1408"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3500"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3500\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12476,"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3500\/revisions\/12476"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11759"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3500"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ffephilosophy.org\/theforum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=3500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
