This project will examine a set of interrelated motifs in the worldviews of two major philosopher-poets of the Indian subcontinent - Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), two of whose Bengali songs are the national anthems of India and Bangladesh, and Muhammad Iqbal (1877-1938), often regarded as the spiritual father of Pakistan. This project is thus situated in the broader field of Islamic-Hindu comparative theology, and will draw on selected texts of both authors as well as relevant historical sources on the socio-cultural and political contexts within which Tagore and Iqbal lived and wrote. The foundational principle of this project, namely, the relation between the universal and the particular, will be explored across three themes: the relation between God and the individual, the relation between the self and its human other, and the relation between the universal truths of science and the particularity of one's finite perspective. Tagore and Iqbal dwell on these motifs in both peotic and philosophical modalities: and I will, over the course of the project, seek to demonstrate how these three guiding themes serve as useful theorectical frameworks with which to understand and conceptualize certain philosophical and theological principles in Islamic and Hindu thought. By foregrounding the dialectic of universality and particularity, and exploring this relation across distinct conceptual interplays, I hope to thus uncover new patterns of Islamic-Hindu comparative discourse.

该项目将在印度次大陆的两个主要哲学家诗歌的世界观中研究一套相互关联的主题 - 拉宾德拉纳特·泰格（Rabindranath Tagore，1861- 1941年），其中两首孟加拉歌曲是印度和孟加拉国的国歌，以及穆罕默德·伊克巴尔（Muhammad Iqbal）（1877-1938），通常是精神，是父亲的父亲。因此，该项目位于伊斯兰印度比较神学的更广泛的领域，并将借鉴作者的选定文本以及泰戈尔和伊克巴尔生活和写作的社会文化和政治背景的相关历史资料。该项目的基本原则，即普遍与特定之间的关系，将在三个主题中进行探讨：上帝与个人之间的关系，自我与其人类之间的关系，以及科学的普遍真理与有限观点的特殊性之间的关系。泰戈尔（Tagore）和伊克巴尔（Iqbal）以性和哲学方式涉及这些主题：在项目过程中，我将寻求展示这三个指导主题如何用作有用的理论框架，以理解和概念化伊斯兰和印度教思想中的某些哲学和神学原理。通过预言普遍性和特殊性的辩证法，并在不同的概念互动中探索这种关系，我希望因此揭示了伊斯兰印度比较性话语的新模式。
