Poetics of Islamic Historiography
This book exposes the mimetic assumption involved in early Islamic historiography, its literary practice and whatever subverts it as reflected in Ṭabarī's History. Four major events in the history of early Islam are then subject to analysis based on literary criticism and are shown to produce a new meaning.
Die Reisen des Ibn Battuta. Band 1
Auf 120 000 Kilometer hat man die gesamte Reisestrecke geschätzt, die Ibn Battuta im 14. Jahrhundert zu Pferd und Kamel, zu Schiff, im Ochsenwagen und in der Sänfte zurücklegte. Siebenundzwanzig Jahre lang reiste der Marokkaner bis an die Grenzen der damals bekannten Welt. Er lernte Heilige und Wandermönche, Könige, Sultane und Despoten in den entlegensten Teilen der muslimischen Reiche kennen, während er die heiligen Stätten des Islam besuchte: Bagdad, Mekka, Kairo und Damaskus, aber auch Indien, die Malediven und China sind seine Stationen. Nach einem kurzen Besuch Spaniens und einer zweijährigen Reise nach Mali und Niger legte der rastlos Reisende den Wanderstab endgültig zur Seite. Der Bericht, den er nach seiner Rückkehr diktierte, trug ihm nicht nur in der arabischen Welt den Beinamen des größten Reisenden des Islam ein. Der erste Band führt den Leser über Ägypten, Syrien und Persien weiter bis Südrußland, nach Konstantinopel und schließlich von der Wolga an den Indus.
God and Humans in Islamic Thought
Winner of The Iranian World Prize for the Book of the Year 2007 in the Philosophy and Mysticism category. This new and original text provides a timely re-examination of Islamic thought, presenting a stark contrast to the more usual conservative view. The explanation of the relationship between God and humans, as portrayed in Islam, is often influenced by the images of God and of human beings which theologians, philosophers and mystics have in mind. The early period of Islam reveals a diversity of interpretations of this relationship. Elkaisy-Friemuth discusses the view of three scholars from the tenth and eleventh century: Abd al-Jabbar, Ibn Sina and Al-Ghazali, which introduce three different approaches of looking at the relationship between God and Humans. God and Humans in Islamic Thought attempts to shed light on an important side of medieval rational thought in demonstrating its significance in forming the basis of an understanding of the nature of God, the nature of human beings and the construction of different bridges between them.
Mulla Sadra and Eschatology
The book explains Sadrā’s theory of the nature of afterlife. It presents Sadrā’s philosophical premises concerning the nature of human beings and their physical and psychological developments through which Sadrā shows how the afterlife is intimately connected to the nature of the human being and how it is a natural stage of the evolution of each individual in which a corporeal body has no role. Presenting Mullā Sadrā in a new light, the aim of this book is to investigate Sadrā’s metaphysical principles of the Return (al-ma‘ād) that have been either partially presented or misunderstood in most of the existing secondary literature. Focusing on Sadrā’s philosophical works, spe...
