On Muslim Democracy: Essays and Dialogues: Religion and Global Politics

Autor Rached Ghannouchi Cu Andrew F. March
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 noi 2023
Many Muslim intellectuals and political activists have begun to move beyond classical political Islam to embrace a more pluralistic, democratic order by developing the concept of "Muslim democracy." Perhaps the most prominent example is the Tunisian Ennahda Party, which declared itself to no longer be "Islamist" but a "Muslim Democratic" party in 2016. While there has been some scholarship on the phenomenon of "Muslim democracy," this book represents the first volume in English to offer a translation of primary source texts elaborating its ideological contours. The head of the Ennahda Party, and an internationally prominent Muslim political thinker and intellectual, Rached Ghannouchi is known around the world as the preeminent theorist of a reconciliation between modern Islamic political thought and democratic theory. On Muslim Democracy gathers a number of Ghannouchi's most important essays, making them available in English for the first time. The book also includes a lengthy philosophical-theological dialogue between Ghannouchi and American political theorist Andrew March. In the dialogues, March and Ghannouchi discuss the influences on and evolution of Ghannouchi's thought, and the meaning of concepts like democracy, pluralism, justice, and law across Islamic and Western philosophical traditions.This volume presents a well-rounded view into the influential work of Rached Ghannouchi, further supported by previously unpublished, illuminating conversations on critical topics in Muslim politics.

Recenzii

...an essential read for all those concerned with Tunisia's future.
In this invaluable book, March (Univ. of Massachusetts) interviews and collects essays by the prominent Islamist scholar and the former President of Tunisia, Rached Ghannouchi. The book presents Ghannouchi's essays on freedom, democracy, and constitutionalism, each followed by a report of an intimate dialogue with Ghannouchi....The book is a vital addition to the discourse on Islam and democracy. Highly recommended.
