This amounts to the theologizing or philosophizing of works of Islamic political theory - written as responses to social, economic and political dynamics - as if they were written as general theoretical formulations of religion or political philosophy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo overcome this problem, \u003ci\u003eThe Birth and Evolution of Islamic Political Theory\u003c\/i\u003e first categorizes Islamic political thought as three distinct group categories: the religious view of politics, Islamic political philosophy, and Islamic political theory. In turn, Islamic political theory is defined as the intention to explain and justify politics by invoking social, economic, and political dynamics completely or partially independently of religious and philosophical norms. These dynamics are illustrated by the study of five political rationalists: Ibn al-Muqaffa, al-Mawardi, Nizam al-Mulk, Ibn Tufayl and Ibn Khaldun.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e G?khan Bacık\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.4lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399522014","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43195534835849,"sku":"9781399522014","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_e3036bb5-01cd-4262-b914-08c85e7aed5b.jpg?v=1733861318","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-birth-and-evolution-of-islamic-political-theory-political-rationalism-from-ibn-al-muqaffa-to-ibn-khaldun-9781399522014","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
