This course examines central works and figures in classical and modern Islamic social and political thought. We will discuss the works of classical Islamic jurists, theologians and philosophers, as well as modern religious reformers to discern the similarities and differences between them, and connect them to major currents of thought in the Islamic world today.
Open to Senior, Junior and Sophomore POLISCI majors.
