PHILOSOPHICAL THEOLOGY AND ITS IMPACT ON GLOBAL CIVILIZATIONAL TRENDS

Abstract

Philosophical theology explores the intersection of reason and faith, synthesizing metaphysical inquiry with religious doctrines. This article examines how philosophical theology has historically shaped and continues to influence global civilizational trends, including ethical frameworks, interfaith discourse, educational systems, and political ideologies. Drawing from key thinkers across Islamic, Western, and Eastern traditions, the study highlights how theological philosophy contributes to global moral reasoning, legal codes, and cross-cultural dialogue. The article argues that philosophical theology offers a critical lens for analyzing contemporary issues of identity, pluralism, and civilizational development in an increasingly globalized world.
