Theorizing Justice in Contemporary Arabo-Islamic Philosophy
A Transcultural Approach with Fatima Mernissi and Mohammed Arkoun
Seiten
A theorization of justice from the perspective of Arab-Islamic philosophy, promoting a transcultural notion of justice that facilitates dialogue between the Global South and the Global North.
What is »justice« from the perspective of contemporary Arabo-Islamic philosophy? Kaouther Karoui takes a transcultural approach, open to different philosophical traditions, and seeks to decenter Western notions of normativity. She focuses on two thinkers, namely the feminist Fatima Mernissi (d.2015) and Mohammed Arkoun (d.2010), a well-known critic of hegemony and orthodoxy. She situates their thinking within current debates among Arab thinkers and brings their ideas into dialog with Western political philosophy. This study thus challenges stereotypes about the Arab-Islamic world by discussing postcolonial theories of gender justice, political freedom, and religion.
