Motivated by the intellectual historian Shahab Ahmed's observation
that "the history of Islamic paideia has yet to be written," Islam
as Education explores multiple forms that the search for knowledge
and the transmission of wisdom have taken in Islam, focusing on the
classical period (800-1500 CE). Ghiloni draws on a wide range of
Islamic primary source material, ranging from sacred texts and
parables to neglected pedagogical literature and paintings. He
depicts three Islamic religious practices-pilgrimage, prophecy, and
jihad-as modes of pedagogy: embodied ways of defining, defusing,
and defending sacred knowledge. Islam as Education's educational
heuristic not only aids in understanding Islam, but also provides
guidance for intercultural and interreligious relations. Ghiloni
argues that Islam's grand 'ilm (knowledge) tradition serves as a
bridge between Muslims and non-Muslims, and compares it with the
educational theory of John Dewey, the celebrated American
pragmatist. Based on this discussion, a final chapter develops
practical tools for learning from cultural and religious
difference.
