Descripción
Sumario:In this volume, scholars reinterpret concepts and canons of Islamic thought in Arab, Persian, South Asian, and Turkish traditions. They demonstrate that there is no unitary "Islamic" position on important issues of statecraft and governance. They recognize that Islam is a discursive site marked by silences, agreements, and animated controversies. The nuanced reading of the Islamic traditions provided in this book will help future generations of Muslims contemplate a more benevolent style of statecraft.
