Conceptions of Justice from Islam to the Present

Meer over het boek

The book explores the Islamic perspective on justice, contrasting it with conventional views and tracing its evolution from Enlightenment thinkers to contemporary philosophers. It highlights the disconnect between ritual observance and adherence to Qur'anic principles among Muslims, drawing insights from 20th-century Muslim intellectuals. Empirical surveys of justice in Muslim countries reveal significant economic, social, and political challenges. The authors conclude with an assessment of the current state of justice and identify critical areas needing reform for true justice to be realized.
