In Metaphysical Institutions, Caner K. Dagli explores the nature of religions, cultures, civilizations, and traditions through the question: "What is Islam?" The book is both a philosophical treatise on shared thinking and an examination of how Islam is conceptualized in light of the metaphysics of consciousness and meaning. Dagli develops a comprehensive theory of institutions and introduces the concept of "metaphysical institutions," aiming to establish necessary and empirically variable features of all institutions, including those addressing ultimate questions. The analysis covers issues of authority, autonomy, rationality, imitation, the universal, and the particular.
