Giving to God
Giving to God examines the everyday practices of Islamic giving in post-revolutionary Egypt. From foods prepared in Sufi soup kitchens, to meals distributed by pious volunteers in slums, to almsgiving, these acts are ultimately about giving to God by giving to the poor. Surprisingly, many who practice such giving say that they do not care about the poor, instead framing their actions within a unique non-compassionate ethics of giving. At first, this form of giving may appear deeply selfish, but further consideration reveals that it avoids many of the problems associated with the idea of “charity.” Using the Egyptian uprising in 2011 and its call for social justice as a backdrop, this beautifully crafted ethnography suggests that “giving a man a fish” might ultimately be more revolutionary than “teaching a man to fish.”
The Moral Psychology of Clement of Alexandria
In The Moral Psychology of Clement of Alexandria, Kathleen Gibbons proposes a new approach to Clement’s moral philosophy and explores how his construction of Christianity’s relationship with Jewishness informed, and was informed by, his philosophical project. As one of the earliest Christian philosophers, Clement’s work has alternatively been treated as important for understanding the history of relations between Christianity and Judaism and between Christianity and pagan philosophy. This study argues that an adequate examination of his significance for the one requires an adequate examination of his significance for the other. While the ancient claim that the writings of Moses were re...
New Directions in the Anthropology of Dreaming
This book presents new directions in contemporary anthropological dream research, surveying recent theorizations of dreaming that are developing both in and outside of anthropology. It incorporates new findings in neuroscience and philosophy of mind while demonstrating that dreams emerge from and comment on sociohistorical and cultural contexts. The chapters are written by prominent anthropologists working at the intersection of culture and consciousness who conduct ethnographic research in a variety of settings around the world, and reflect how dreaming is investigated by a range of informants in ever more diverse sites. As well as theorizing the dream in light of current anthropological an...
Müslüman Aklın Uyanışı: Akla, Hürriyete ve Hoşgörüye Davet
Bugün İslam dünyasının dört bir yanında din adına sergilenen yanlışlıklar, her seferinde “gerçek İslam bu değil” demekle geçiştirilebilir mi? Yoksa, İslam düşüncesinde, fıkhında ve ilahiyatında esaslı bir sorgulamaya ve yenilenmeye mi ihtiyaç var? Mustafa Akyol, bugüne dek beş ayrı dilde yayınlanan, Bosna-Hersek’ten Endonezya’ya kadar bir çok ülkede yankılar ve tartışmalar yaratan kitabında bu soruyu irdeliyor. Kur’an’a, İslam geleneğinin unutulmuş zenginliklerine ve çağdaş akademik kaynaklara dayanarak, günümüzün yakıcı dinî meselelerine yeni bakış açıları öneriyor. Katılmasanız bile, düşünmeye davet ediyor.
Tradition und Fortschreibung bei Ibn Rušd
Die Studie skizziert Ibn Rušds einzigartigen rechtsphilosophischen Ansatz, das islamische Recht zu flexibilisieren und es mitten im Leben der Muslime zu verorten. Sein Ansatz erlaubt eine neue Perspektive im Diskurs um die Aktualisierung des islamischen Rechtsund um die Suche nach der "Islamizität" von Normen. Am Beispiel des Verbots des Wucherzinses geht die Studie dem Ansatz Ibn Rušds nach und vergleicht sie mit diversen Lösungsansätzen aus der muslimischen Rechtsgelehrsamkeit. Für diesen Zweck wurde die Einleitung und das Kapitel zum Wucherzins in seinem Rechtswerk Bidāyat al-muǧtahid übersetzt und kommentiert, seine Herangehensweise analysiert und die von ihm konsultierten Quellen ausfindig gemacht.

The Ẓāhirī Madhhab (3rd/9th-10th/16th Century)
In this book, Amr Osman seeks to expand and re-interpret what we know about the history and doctrine of the Ẓāhirī madhhab. Based on an extensive prosopographical survey, he concludes that the founder, Dāwūd al-Ẓāhirī, was closer in profile and doctrine to the Ahl al-Ra’y than to the Ahl al-Ḥadīth. Furthermore, Ibn Ḥazm al-Andalusī may have had a damaging effect on the madhhab, which never actually developed into a full-fledged school of law. By examining the meaning of ‘ẓāhir’ and modern scholarship on ‘literalism’, he challenges the view that Ẓāhirism was literalist, proposing ‘textualism’ as an accurate reflection of its premises, methodology, and goals as a hermeneutical and legal theory.
