Featuring the work of leading contemporary Muslim philosophers and
theologians, this book grapples with various forms of evil and
suffering in the world today, from COVID-19 and issues in climate
change to problems in palliative care and human vulnerability.
Rather than walking down well-trodden paths in philosophy of
religion which often address questions of evil and suffering by
focusing on divine attributes and the God-world relationship, this
volume offers another path of inquiry by focusing on human
vulnerability, potential, and resilience. Addressing both the
theoretical and practical dimensions of the question of evil,
topics range from the transformative power of love, virtue ethics
in Sufism and the necessity of suffering, to the spiritual
significance of the body and Islamic perspectives on embodiment. In
doing so, the contributors propose new perspectives based on
various pre-modern and contemporary materials that can enrich the
emerging field of the global philosophy of religion, thereby
radically transforming contemporary debates on the nature of evil
and suffering. The book will appeal to researchers in a variety of
disciplines, including Islamic philosophy, religious studies,
Sufism and theology.
