This volume combines rigorous empirical and theoretical analyses
with political engagement to look beyond reductive short-hands that
ignore the historical evolution and varieties of Islamic doctrine
and that deny the complexities of Muslim societies' encounters with
modernity itself. Are Islam and democracy compatible? Can we shed
the language of 'Islam vs. the West' for new political imaginaries?
The authors analyze struggles over political legitimacy since the
Arab Spring and the rise of Al Qaeda and ISIS in their historical
and political complexity across the MENA (Middle East and North
Africa) region. Distinguishing multiculturalism from
interculturalism and understanding multiple modernities,
philosophers in the volume tease out the complexities of
civilizational encounters. The volume also shows how the Paris
massacres or the Danish caricature controversy do not remain
confined to Europe but influence struggles and confrontations
within Muslim societies. Gender and Islam are addressed from a
comparative perspective bringing into conversation not only the
experience of different Muslim countries with Islamic law but also
by analysing Jewish family law.
