This seminar by Dr Mohammad Fadel explores the intersections between the Islamic tradition of reflection on justice and the modern liberal tradition. Can and should committed Muslims endorse liberalism as a governing philosophy, or as a modus vivendi, and what are the implications for both faith communities and wider society of either approach? Dr Fadel’s work on Islam and public reason has set a research agenda for these questions, and we look forward to hearing from him in a lively and interactive seminar.
