It examines the Qur'an, the early Caliphate, classical Islamic philosophy, and the political culture of the Ottoman and other empires. Major thinkers such as Averroes (Ibn Rushd) and Ibn Taymiyya are covered as well as numerous lesser authors, and Ibn Khaldun is presented as one of the most original political theorists ever. Black draws on a wide range of sources including writings on religion, law, philosophy and statecraft expressed in treatises, handbooks and political rhetoric.   The new edition analyzes the connections between religion and politics, covering the most recent developments in Islamic political thought and the current historical scholarship. Black ends with a critical survey of reformism (or modernism) and Islamism (or fundamentalism) from the late nineteenth century up to the present day as well as looking at Islam in the West    ORDER THE BOOK      $40.00 $32.00 (with discount code CUP20)  paper  416 pages For more titles in: Politics and Political Theory Asian and Islamic Philosophy Islam Middle East Studies    FOLLOW Columbia University Press:
