A Philosophical Treatise on Muslim Politics
This is a translation of Mehdi Hairi Yazdi’s حکمت و حکومت (Ḥikmat wa Ḥukūmat) which provides a philosophical critique of the theory of the guardianship of the jurist. This theory is currently the governance theory in Iran and Mehdi Hairi Yazdi’s treatise provides a critique based on both philosophical and traditional arguments. It asks numerous questions, such as: ‘Is the governance of jurists philosophically coherent, rational and efficient?’ and ‘How can Muslim communities have their own forms of governance in such a manner that their faith commitments are met while living in their own time without clashing with universal values of governance?’ and debunks the key foundation of the guardianship of the jurist. The present translation makes accessible, for the first time, the text of this critique in English, and provides a competing narrative based on his theory of joint public ownership in political theory.
The Concepts of Psychiatry
Because most psychiatric illnesses are complex phenomena, no single method or approach is sufficient to explain them or the experiences of persons who suffer from them. In The Concepts of Psychiatry S. Nassir Ghaemi, M.D. argues that the discipline of psychiatry can therefore be understood best from a pluralistic perspective. Grounding his approach in the works of Paul McHugh, Phillip Slavney, Leston Havens, and others, Ghaemi incorporates a more explicitly philosophical discussion of the strengths of a pluralistic model and the weaknesses of other approaches, such as biological or psychoanalytic theories, the biopsychosocial model, or eclecticism. Ghaemi's methodology is twofold: on the one...
Iran
Unlike much of the instant analysis that appeared at the time of the Iranian revolution, Iran: From Religious Dispute to Revolution is based upon extensive fieldwork carried out in Iran. Michael M. J. Fischer draws upon his rich experience with the mullahs and their students in the holy city of Qum, composing a picture of Iranian society from the inside—the lives of ordinary people, the way that each class interprets Islam, and the role of religion and religious education in the culture. Fischer’s book, with its new introduction updating arguments for the post-Revolutionary period, brings a dynamic view of a society undergoing metamorphosis, which remains fundamental to understanding Iranian society in the early twenty-first century.
The Principles of Epistemology in Islamic Philosophy
This book aims to present to western philosophers the most important theme in Islamic epistemology: knowledge by presence, the knowledge that results from immediate and intuitive awarenes, advocated by the author as a viable modern philosophical position. Treating the subject in a thoroughly philosophical manner that is comprehensible to contemporary analytical philosophers, he remains faithful to the Islamic tradition.

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.

Der Islam ist heute mit ca. 1,8 Milliarden Gläubigen eine lebendige, schnell wachsende Glaubensgemeinschaft. Der zweite Band der dreiteiligen Darstellung des Islam in der Reihe "Die Religionen der Menschheit" widmet sich der islamischen Geistes- und Sozialgeschichte: Der Band beginnt mit Darstellungen des Islam in seinen regionalen Ausprägungen in Nord- und Subsahara-Afrika sowie Süd-, Südost- und Zentralasien. Darauf folgend werden verschiedene Aspekte muslimischen Lebens beleuchtet: Riten und Bräuche, Frömmigkeit, Reformbewegungen und die Frage nach dem Neben- und Miteinander von Muslimen und Nicht-Muslimen. Der abschließende Teil widmet sich islamischen Wissenschaftstraditionen, dialektischer Theologie, Recht und Philosophie sowie mystischen Strömungen, Kunst, Literatur und Musik.
The Biographical Encyclopedia of Islamic Philosophy
Philosophy flourished in the Islamic world for many centuries, and continues to be a significant feature of cultural life today. Now available in paperback, The Biographical Encyclopedia of Islamic Philosophy covers all the major and many minor philosophers, theologians, and mystics who contributed to its development. With entries on over 300 thinkers and key concepts in Islamic philosophy, this updated landmark work also includes a timeline, glossary and detailed bibliography. It goes beyond philosophy to reference all kinds of theoretical inquiry which were often linked with philosophy, such as the Islamic sciences, grammar, theology, law, and traditions. Every major school of thought, from classical Peripatetic philosophy to Sufi mysticism, is represented, and entries range across time from the early years of the faith to the modern period. Featuring an international group of authors from South East Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, the Middle East and North Africa, Europe and North America, The Biographical Encyclopedia of Islamic Philosophy provides access to the ideas and people comprising almost 1400 years of Islamic philosophical tradition.
The Longevity of Clerical Business As Usual
This book is based in part on my experience as a seminary student in Shiraz, Qum, and Tehran and talking in those years with many Shi`i clerics and other religious functionaries, and supplemented by analysis of the literature on Shi`i clergy in Persian and English languages. The author tries to untangle the web of mysteries spun around the clerical establishment and make the facts, theories, and myths about the clerics clear.
