ABSTRACT More than any other object of historical and anthropological study, Islamicate occult science cuts to the quick of what it means to be modern, to be Western, to be scientific. Yet nowhere else are nineteenth-century colonialist metaphysics and materialist cosmology more firmly entrenched. The piecemeal, truncated study of “Magic in Islam” to date has thus often been pursued in service of either scientistic or religionist agendas, whereby magic can only ever be failed science or apolitical religion, and Islam can never be the West; Islamic Magic as simply Western and often imperial Science-and-Religion is thereby utterly disappeared from historiographical purview. This manifesto therefore proposes a way out of this dire epistemological and ethical bind. To restore Islamic Magic to its rightful place in Western intellectual and cultural history, especially history of science, we must take far more seriously the panpsychist cosmology on which it is predicated, and realize that our own reflexive materialism commits us willynilly to a colonialist agenda that is, ironically, both antireligious and antiscientific.

（伊斯兰）神秘科学是科学吗？

摘要伊斯兰神秘学比历史和人类学研究的任何其他对象都切入了现代，西方，科学的含义。然而，十九世纪的殖民主义形而上学和唯物主义的宇宙论却没有更牢固的根基。迄今为止，对“伊斯兰教中的魔术”的零碎，删节的研究常常是为服务于科学或宗教主义者的议程而进行的，在这种研究中，魔术只能是失败的科学或非政治宗教，而伊斯兰永远不能是西方。因此，伊斯兰魔术只是西方的，经常是帝国的科学与宗教，因此从历史学的视野中彻底消失了。因此，该宣言提出了摆脱这种可怕的认识论和道德约束的出路。
