Course Description

How Islam and its intellectual tradition are responding to the challenges of modernity? To what extent the diversity and transformations within Islamic thought over time can prevent clashes with the Western world? This course focuses on crucial “hot-button” contemporary issues in Islam such as the Sharia, jihad, the caliphate, gender, politics, religious plurality, peacemaking, and the Western discourse of Islam. By surveying these themes within a longer historical perspective, the course aims to reveal various interpretations of these contested topics within the Islamic world.
