Reflections on Reason, Religion, and Tolerance
This is an attempt to reflect on Islam as it appears in the context of Fethullah Gulen's teachings, an influential Turkish-Muslim scholar who inspired a movement of education and interfaith dialogue. Grinell's extensive study of Islam and of Gulen allows him to pinpoint a unique expression of values and beliefs that could alter the typical understanding of Islam and Muslims in the West. He draws upon his previous studies of the Gulen Movement and comparatively places Gulen in a wider context of faith and society. What is the concept of knowledge in Islam as understood by Gulen? How is faith and service to people connected? Is Gulen after building a sultanate? Does the Gulen movement have a (hidden) political agenda? How traditional or modern is Gulen? These are some of the questions Grinell attempts to answer from his perspective. As a humanistic researcher on Islam, Grinell believes we definitely have something to learn from Islam.
Islams filosofihistoria : från Fitaghuras och Aflatun till Nasr och Ramadan
Antikens grekiska filosofer var varken européer eller kristna. Deras arv har inte heller bara förvaltats i Väst. Även inom den muslimska världen har den antika filosofin varit viktig. De traditioner som idag alltför ofta framställs som varandras motsatser delar alltså centrala arv. Islams filosofihistoria är den första boken på svenska som tecknar filosofihistorien från muslimsk horisont. Här presenteras den islamiska förståelsen av filosofer som Pythagoras, Platon, Aristoteles och Plotinos. Filosofin följs vidare via medeltida storheter som Ibn Sina, al-Ghazali och Ibn Rushd, till moderna filosofer som Muhammad Iqbal, Seyyed Hossein Nasr och Tariq Ramadan. Genom att lära känna islams filosofihistoria får vi inte bara en bredare bild av islams idéhistoria, vi får också nya perspektiv på den antika filosofin. Klas Grinell är docent i idéhistoria vid Göteborgs universitet, och intendent vid Världskulturmuseet i Göteborg.
Understanding Islam at European Museums
Exhibitions of Islamic artefacts in European museums have since 1989 been surrounded by a growing rhetoric of cultural tolerance, in response to the dissemination of images of Islam as misogynist, homophobic and violent. This has produced a new public context for exhibitions of Islam and has led to major recent investments in new galleries for Islamic artefacts, often with financial support from the Gulf and Saudi Arabia. This Element addresses contemporary framings of Islam in European museums, focusing on how museums in Germany and the UK with collections of Islamic heritage realise the ICOM (International Council of Museums) definition of museums as institutions in the service of society. The authors find that far too often the knowledge of Islamic cultural heritage is disconnected from contemporary developments in museum transformations, as well as from the geopolitical contexts they are a response to.
Surface Engineered Surgical Tools and Medical Devices
Medical devices and surgical tools that contain micro and nanoscale features allow surgeons to perform clinical procedures with greater precision and safety while monitoring physiological and biomechanical parameters more accurately. While surgeons have started to master the use of nanostructured surgical tools in the operating room, this book addresses for the first time the impact and interaction of nanomaterials and nanostructured coatings in a comprehensive manner. Surface Engineered Surgical Tools and Medical Devices presents the latest information and techniques in the emerging field of surface engineered biomedical devices and surgical tools, and analyzes the interaction between nanotechnology, nanomaterials, and tools for surgical applications. Chapters of the book describe developments in coatings for heart valves, stents, hip and knee joints, cardiovascular devices, orthodontic applications, and regenerative materials such as bone substitutes. Chapters are also dedicated to the performance of surgical tools and dental tools and describe how nanostructured surfaces can be created for the purposes of improving cell adhesion between medical devices and the human body.
