The Dialectical Forge identifies dialectical disputation (jadal) as
a primary formative dynamic in the evolution of pre-modern Islamic
legal systems, promoting dialectic from relative obscurity to a
more appropriate position at the forefront of Islamic legal
studies. The author introduces and develops a dialectics-based
analytical method for the study of pre-modern Islamic legal
argumentation, examines parallels and divergences between
Aristotelian dialectic and early juridical jadal-theory, and
proposes a multi-component paradigm-the Dialectical Forge Model-to
account for the power of jadal in shaping Islamic law and legal
theory.In addition to overviews of current evolutionary narratives
for Islamic legal theory and dialectic, and expositions on key
texts, this work shines an analytical light upon the considerably
sophisticated "proto-system" of juridical dialectical teaching and
practice evident in Islam's second century, several generations
before the first "full-system" treatises of legal and dialectical
theory were composed. This proto-system is revealed from analyses
of dialectical sequences in the 2nd/8th century Kitab Ikhtilaf
al-'Iraqiyyin / 'Iraqiyyayn (the "subject-text") through a lens
molded from 5th/11th century jadal-theory treatises (the
"lens-texts"). Specific features thus uncovered inform the
elaboration of a Dialectical Forge Model, whose more general
components and functions are explored in closing chapters.

Benjamin Disraeli was the most gifted parliamentarian of the
nineteenth century and a superb orator, writer and wit - but how
much do we really know about the man behind the words? 'As Douglas
Hurd and Edward Young point out in their splendidly written, finely
judged and thoroughly persuasive book, a vast chasm yawned between
the real Disraeli and his posthumous reinvention' Dominic
Sandbrook, SUNDAY TIMES 'Not only, they tell us in this vigorously
debunking romp through his political life, did he never use the
phrases "One Nation" or "Tory Democracy", he was actively hostile
to the concepts that they are now understood to represent' Sam
Leith, THE SPECTATOR 'The book is more a study in character . . .
than a staid political narrative. As a result, Disraeli: Or the Two
Lives is full of unexpected jolts and paradoxes . . . It proves an
unflagging pleasure to read' Richard Davenport-Hines, GUARDIAN 'So
intoxicating that you will find yourself snorting it up in one go,
as I did, with great pleasure' Boris Johnson, MAIL ON SUNDAY
