The Prophet Muhammad made his famous archetypal Hijra (migration) from Mecca to Medina in 622 AD, a year which became the Year 1 of the Muslim lunar calendar; the Hajj (pilgrimage) of Farewell enacted by the Prophet in 632 AD provided the paradigm for all future pilgrimages to the sacred Ka'ba in Mecca; while a much quoted hadith portrays the Founder of Islam counselling his followers that they should seek knowledge even as far as China. The concept of Rihla (travel) in search of...

Offers a unique comparative exploration of the role of tradition in Islam and Christianity.The idea of 'tradition' has enjoyed a variety of senses and definitions in Islam and Christianity, but both have cleaved at certain times to a supposedly 'golden age' of tradition from the past. The author suggests there has been a chain of thinkers from classical Islam to the twentieth century who share a common interest in ijtihad (or independent thinking). Drawing on past and present evidence, and using Christian tradition as a focus for contrast and comparison, the author highlights the seemingly...

Orientalism Revisited: Art, Land and Voyage
ISBN: 9780415538565 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The publication of Edward Said's Orientalism in 1978 marks the inception of orientalism as a discourse. Since then, Orientalism has remained highly polemical and has become a widely employed epistemological tool. Three decades on, this volume sets out to survey, analyse and revisit the state of the Orientalist debate, both past and present. The leitmotiv of this book is its emphasis on an intimate connection between art, land and voyage. Orientalist art of all kinds frequently derives from a consideration of the land which is encountered on a voyage or pilgrimage, a relationship which, until...

Al-Farabi and His School
ISBN: 9780415035941 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This text examines one of the most dynamic periods in the development of medieval Islam - from the late 9th century to the early 11th century. The age is examined through the thought of its five principal thinkers and labelled after the first and greatest of these, the Age of Farabism. It is demonstrated in this book that the great Islamic philosopher al-Farabi, called the second master after Aristotle, produced a recognizable school of thought in which others pursued and developed some of his own intellectual preoccupations.
