In Coercion and Responsibility in Islam, Mairaj Syed explores how
classical Muslim theologians and jurists from four intellectual
traditions argue about the thorny issues that coercion raises about
responsibility for one's action. This is done by assessing four
ethical problems: whether the absence of coercion or compulsion is
a condition for moral agency; how the law ought to define what is
coercive; coercion's effect on the legal validity of speech acts;
and its effects on moral and legal responsibility in the cases of
rape and murder. Through a comparative and historical examination
of these ethical problems, the book demonstrates the usefulness of
a new model for analyzing ethical thought produced by intellectuals
working within traditions in a competitive pluralistic environment.
The book compares classical Muslim thought on coercion with that of
modern Western thinkers on these issues and finds significant
parallels between them. The finding suggests that a fruitful
starting point for comparative ethical inquiry, especially inquiry
aimed at the discovery of common ground for ethical action, may be
found in an examination of how ethicists from different traditions
considered concrete problems.
