9798889838111: Ethics and the Self in Islam: Historical and Contemporary Conversations

Synopsis

This collection of essays examines the evolving relationship between ethical values and ideas about individual nature throughout the history of Islamic thought. The authors trace the transformations and new directions of ethics whenever the "self" has been reconceptualized by different Muslim thinkers. Ranging from the Qur'an to medieval Sufi traditions to modern Muslim scholars, and from Pakistan to Morocco, this volume illustrates how notions of "the individual" and "the ethical" have been in close connection in both ancient and contemporary contexts.
