DESCRIPTION:How should Muslims address moral arguments to non-Muslims? If 
 there is no moral knowledge outside revelation\, then it seems such argume
 nts\, which are saliently addressed by Muslims to non-Muslim interlocutors
  on topics including justice for Palestine\, anti-Muslim prejudice\, and m
 any other issues\, must be something other than good faith appeals to reas
 on. This has disturbing implications for co-operation in pursuit of justic
 e along religious lines.\n\nHowever\, many Muslim theologians have held th
 at humans can\, independently of revelation\, at least discern in broad ou
 tlines the goodness or badness of certain features of the world. Does this
  position permit sufficiently determinate knowledge to ground a shared mor
 al standpoint between Muslims and others? If so\, what is the content of t
 his standpoint and what are its political implications? \n\nDr Ramon Harve
 y\, Lecturer in Islamic Studies at the Cambridge Muslim College\, is a lea
 ding expert in the Maturidi school of Islamic theology and in the philosop
 hical tradition of 'natural law'\, which holds that determinate knowledge 
 of right and wrong\, grounded in God's wisdom\, is accessible outside reve
 lation and can serve as the basis for a shared moral standpoint across rel
 igious lines. \n\nDr Harvey will address the Seminar (in person)\, followe
 d by open discussion and questions. \n\nTo gain maximum benefit from the s
 ession\, participants are encouraged to read a short paper by Dr Harvey be
 forehand\, which will be provided upon registration. Additional readings w
 ill also be provided for those wishing to go deeper into the topic.\n\nThi
 s Seminar is part of the Oxford Islam and Justice Programme\, which explor
 es fundamental questions about the relationship between the Islamic intell
 ectual tradition and conceptions of justice appropriate for religiously pl
 ural societies.\n\nMore information on the series can be found at: \n\nhtt
