Wilmers, Damaris, author

Overview

In Beyond Schools: Muٍhammad b. Ibrهahهim al-Wazهir's (d. 840/1436) Epistemology of Ambiguity, Damaris Wilmers provides the first extensive analysis of Ibn al-Wazهir's thought and its role in the \"Sunnisation of the Zaydiyya\", emphasizing its significance for conflicts between schools of thought and law beyond the Yemeni context. Contrasting Ibn al-Wazهir's works with those of his Zaydi contemporary Aٍhmad b. Yaٍhyهa b. al-Murtaٍdهa, Damaris Wilmers offers a study of a number of heretofore unedited texts from 9th/15th century Yemen when Zaydi identity was challenged by an increasing theological and legal diversity. She shows how Ibn al-Wazهir, who has been classed with different schools, actually de-emphasized school affiliation and developed an integrative approach based on a unique theory of knowledge.
