Sinopsis

This collection of essays examines the evolving relationship between ethical values and conceptions of individual identity throughout the history of Islamic thought. The authors trace the transformations and new directions of ethics as the individual "self" has been reconceptualized in light of shifting cultural, religious, political, and scientific norms. With chapters ranging from the Qur'an to modern laypeople and scholars--and from Morocco to Pakistan--this volume illustrates how Muslims' notions of "the individual" and "the ethical" have been in close conversation in both ancient and contemporary contexts.
