Islam has had a significant impact on world history, not only as a
major religion that has directed the personal beliefs and actions
of individuals, but also as the basis of a distinct system of
government that has developed its own institutions, practices and
philosophies. This new Routledge Major Work collection is concerned
with the development of political thought in Islam. By political
thought is meant, broadly, the study and interpretation of Islamic
political culture, ideas, beliefs, and institutions; the
contribution of key political theorists and authorities to the
understanding or practice of governance; what people and groups
believed about political authority and institutions and their
political convictions; and how politics in the Islamic world has
related to and interacted with other disciplines, such as religion,
law, ethics, and philosophy. Although contemporary issues in
Islamic political thought are very much in the public focus at the
moment, this set also focuses on the history and development of
Islamic political theories and thought, from their inception until
the twentieth century. Political thought in the Muslim world is
connected to its history and by understanding the past, those who
study contemporary political thought will have a better grounding
to understand current and future developments. Moreover,
understanding how Islamic political thought developed also helps
shed light on the political thought of other civilizations, such as
Western political thought. Political thought in Islam did not
develop in isolation -- it responded to and interacted with the
political institutions and theories of other civilizations
throughout history.
