Critiques of Liberalism and Islamic Political Thought

Seminar 4 explores debates about the metaphysical and meta-ethical presuppositions of liberal political theory, with an emphasis on their congruence, or otherwise, with the Islamic tradition of political thought, and their (post)-colonial genealogies.

The Oxford Islam and Justice Programme aims to provide a grounding in the academic and ideological debates surrounding the relationship between Islamic views of justice and the modern liberal order. It comprises five 2-hour seminars, with associated readings, in Michaelmas 2024, taught by leading academics in the field.
