== Ideas ==
El-Bizri's areas of expertise are in [[Phenomenology (philosophy)|phenomenology]], in Arabic Sciences and philosophy, and architectural [[humanities]] ([[architectural theory]]). He focuses mainly on theories of [[space]]/[[Location (geography)|place]] and of [[perception]], with a particular interest in classical [[optics]] and [[Perspective (visual)|perspective]] [[Renaissance]] traditions. His interpretation of [[history of science]] and philosophy is guided by contemporary debates in [[epistemology]] and [[ontology]] ([[metaphysics]]).<ref>[https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=273309 See for example his discussion of his methodology in the journal ''Synthesis Philosophica''.]</ref>

El-Bizri composed commentaries on phenomenology and [[Martin Heidegger]], with an emphasis on the conception of space/place, dwelling, embodiment, and the essence of technology; especially in architecture.<ref>[https://cdn.uclouvain.be/groups/cms-editors-isp/vhousiaux/BHDG-7.pdf] On the impact of Heidegger in the Arab and Muslim world, in "BULLETIN HEIDEGGÉRIEN" 7 (2017), pp. 8-16 {{ISSN|2034-7189}}</ref><ref>[http://studia.ubbcluj.ro/arhiva/abstract_en.php?editie=PHILOSOPHIA&nr=1&an=2015&id_art=13262 Nader El-Bizri, 'On Dwelling: Heideggerian Allusions to Architectural Phenomenology', ''Studia UBB.

El-Bizri's interpretations of the history of the exact sciences in classical Islamic civilisation have been connected with the legacy of the mathematician, historian and philosopher of science: Roshdi Rashed (Emeritus; ''CNRS'', Paris).<ref>[https://books.google.com.lb/books?id=NvERVsAPgksC&redir_esc=y Refer to his promotion of the works of Roshdi Rashed in Anglophone scholarship in published annotated translations via the academic press Routledge]</ref>

In recent studies that aim at "renewing the impetus of philosophical thinking in Islam", El-Bizri offers critical analyses of the conventions of methodology and historiography that dominate the mainstream academic and epistemic approaches in studying "Islamic philosophy" from "archival" standpoints, within Oriental and Mediaevalist Studies; arguing that these do not usually recognise the fact that "philosophy in Islam" can still be a living intellectual tradition, and that its renewal requires a radical reform in ontology, epistemology and [[cosmology]] within Islamic thought, which have primacy over the emphasis on theories of value, politics and law.<ref>[http://scholarworks.sjsu.edu/comparativephilosophy/vol1/iss2/5/ Consult his discussion of methods of inquiry in the journal ''Comparative Philosophy''.]</ref> This is also embodied in El-Bizri's interpretations of Avicenna (Ibn Sina) from the standpoint of Heidegger's critique of the history of metaphysics.<ref>[http://www.sunypress.edu/p-5466-the-phenomenological-quest-betw.aspx This is the basis of his book: ''The Phenomenological Quest between Avicenna and Heidegger'' (SUNY 1999, rep. 2014)]</ref> This approach is also further reinforced through El-Bizri's recent studies in which he points to a hypothetical modern direction in ontology and epistemology, and that he refers to as “Neo-Avicennism”, in reflection of his own analysis of Avicenna’s thinking based on addressing contemporary problems and questions in philosophy. <ref> Refer for example to some of El-Bizri's more recent articles, such as: Nader El-Bizri, “Avicenna and the Meaning of Life”, in ''The Meaning of Life and the Great Philosophers'', eds.

Stephen Leach and James Tartaglia (London: Routledge, 2016), pp. 45-53.</ref>

Moreover, El-Bizri made various contributions to the field of [[Phenomenology (architecture)|architectural phenomenology]]. This is particularly elucidated in terms of his studies on classical Greco-Arabic optics and Renaissance perspective (from [[Alhazen]] to [[Girard Desargues]]),<ref>{{cite book | last=El-Bizri | first=Nader | authorlink=Nader El-Bizri | chapter=Classical Optics and the Perspectiva Traditions Leading to the Renaissance | pages=11–30 | editor1-last=Hendrix | editor1-first=John Shannon | editor1link=John Shannon Hendrix | editor2-last=Carman | editor2-first=Charles H. | title=Renaissance Theories of Vision (Visual Culture in Early Modernity) | date=2010 | location=Farnham, Surrey | publisher=[[Ashgate]] | isbn=1-409400-24-7}}; {{cite book | last=El-Bizri | first=Nader | authorlink=Nader El-Bizri | chapter=Seeing Reality in Perspective: 'The Art of Optics' and the 'Science of Painting' | title=The Art of Science: From Perspective Drawing to Quantum Randomness | editor1-first=Rossella | editor1-last=Lupacchini | editor2-first=Annarita | editor2-last=Angelini | location=Doredrecht | publisher=Springer | date=2014 | pages=25–47}}; {{cite book | last=El-Bizri | first=Nader | authorlink=Nader El-Bizri | chapter=Desargues’ ''oeuvres'': On perspective, optics and conics | title=Visioning Technologies: The Architectures of Sight | editor-first=Graham | editor-last=Cairns | location=London | publisher=Taylor & Francis | date=2016 | pages=36–51}}</ref> in addition to his philosophical investigation of the notion of χώρα ([[Khôra]]) as it figured in the ''[[Timaeus (dialogue)|Timaeus]]'' dialogue of [[Plato]].<ref>Nader El-Bizri, "‘''Qui-êtes vous Khôra?''’: Receiving [[Plato]]’s ''[[Timaeus (dialogue)|Timaeus]]''," ''Existentia Meletai-Sophias'', Vol. XI, Issue 3-4 (2001), pp.&nbsp;473–490; Nader El-Bizri, "''ON KAI KHORA'': Situating [[Heidegger]] between the ''[[Sophist]]'' and the ''[[Timaeus (dialogue)|Timaeus]]''," ''Studia Phaenomenologica'', Vol. IV, Issue 1-2 (2004), pp.&nbsp;73–98 [http://www.zetabooks.com/studia-phaenomenologica-volume-4-issue-1-2-2004-issues-on-brentano-husserl-and-heidegger.html]; Nader El-Bizri, "''Ontopoiēsis'' and the Interpretation of [[Plato]]’s ''Khôra''," ''Analecta Husserliana: The Yearbook of Phenomenological Research'', Vol. LXXXIII (2004), pp.&nbsp;25–45.</ref> El-Bizri builds on [[Jacques Derrida]]’s consideration of ''khôra'' as what names a radical otherness that "gives place" to being, by rather more narrowly taking it to name the radical happening of "an ontological difference between being and beings" in Heideggerian terms.<ref>([[Nader El-Bizri]], 2004, 2011)</ref> El-Bizri's reflections on "''khôra''" are taken as a basis for tackling the meditations on ''dwelling'' and on ''being and space'' in [[Heidegger]]'s thought and the critical conceptions of space and place as they evolved in [[architectural theory]] (and its strands in phenomenological thinking),<ref>([[Nader El-Bizri]], 2018)</ref> and in history of philosophy and science, with a focus on geometry and optics.<ref>([[Nader El-Bizri]], 2001, 2004, 2011, 2015)</ref> This line of inquiry is deepened further by El-Bizri through his various ontological commentaries on [[Heidegger]] in connection with the conception of the ''place of being'', and of dwelling and embodiment (in the flesh and physical, vs. virtual and cybernetic), especially as they are addressed against the background of the unfolding of the essence of modern technology. These investigations embody El-Bizri’s take on “econtology” as an extension of Heidegger’s consideration of the question of being (''Seinsfrage'') by way of the fourfold (''Das Geviert'') of earth-sky-mortals-divinities (''Erde und Himmel, Sterblichen und Göttlichen''). In this new strand of "ecophenomenology", which is influenced by the thought of [[Maurice Merleau-Ponty]] besides the Heideggerian leitmotifs, ecology is seen as being closely co-entangled with lived ontology, whereby the worldly existential situations are grounded in earthiness and "the flesh of the world" (''la chair du monde''), wherein environmentalism is also orientated by ontological thinking about being-in-the-world (''In-der-Welt-Sein''; ''être-dans-le-monde'').<ref>Nader El-Bizri, "Being at Home Among Things: [[Heidegger]]’s Reflections on Dwelling", ''Environment, Space, Place'' Vol. 3 (2011), pp.&nbsp;47–71; Nader El-Bizri, "On Dwelling: Heideggerian Allusions to Architectural [[Phenomenology (architecture)|Phenomenology]]", ''Studia UBB.
