This second selection of articles by George Makdisi concentrates on the schools of religious thought and legal learning in the medieval Islamic world and their defence of ’orthodoxy’.

One of the most important consequences of the first of these confrontations, he...

The Censure of Speculative Theology of Ibn Qudama: (Tahrim Al-Nazar Fi Kutub Al Al-Kalam)
ISBN: 9780906094167 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Muwaffaq al-Din Ibn Qudama (1147-1223) was an ascetic, jurisconsult and traditionalist theologian of the Hanbali school mainly resident in Damascus. His Tahrim al-Nazar is an attack on the rationalist views of the earlier jurist of Baghdad, Ibn Aqil (d. 1119). Ibn Aqil, though himself a Hanbali, had come at one stage under the influence of Mu'tazilite thought and adopted certain of its views, which he was later obliged to retract. Ibn Qudama took the traditionalist position that speculative theology (kalam) and allegorical interpretation (ta'wil) were innovations and ipso facto not...

Making England Western: Occidentalism, Race, and Imperial Culture
ISBN: 9780226923147 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The central argument of Edward Said s "Orientalism" is that the relationship between Britain and its colonies was primarily oppositional, based on contrasts between conquest abroad and domestic order at home. Saree Makdisi directly challenges that premise in "Making England Western," identifying the convergence between the British Empire s civilizing mission abroad and a parallel mission within England itself, and pointing to Romanticism as one of the key sites of resistance to the imperial culture in Britain after 1815.Makdisi argues that there existed places and populations in both England...

The Culture of Sectarianism: Community, History, and Violence in Nineteenth-Century Ottoman Lebanon
ISBN: 9780520218468 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Focusing on Ottoman Lebanon, Ussama Makdisi shows how sectarianism was a manifestation of modernity that transcended the physical boundaries of a particular country. His study challenges those who have viewed sectarian violence as an Islamic response to westernization or simply as a product of social and economic inequities among religious groups. The religious violence of the nineteenth century, which culminated in sectarian mobilizations and massacres in 1860, was a complex, multilayered, subaltern expression of modernization, he says, not a primordial reaction to it. Makdisi argues...

William Blake and the Impossible History of the 1790s
ISBN: 9780226502601 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Modern scholars often find it difficult to account for the profound eccentricities in the work of William Blake, dismissing them as either ahistorical or simply meaningless. But with this pioneering study, Saree Makdisi develops a reliable and comprehensive framework for understanding these peculiarities. According to Makdisi, Blake's poetry and drawings should compel us to seriously reconsider ths history of the 1790s - the turbulent and revolutionary decade in which they first emerged.

Lessons of Lebanon: The Economics of War and Development
ISBN: 9781850433989 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Since 1945, over 200 intrastate conflicts have taken place in countries that achieved independence from colonial rule after the Second World War. The case of Lebanon offers a striking illustration of these interlocking influences on projects of national economic development. The persistently sectarian nature of the country's political institutions, the relatively poor quality of governance, and the major civil war that engulfed the country from 1975 to 1990, together define not only the context in which the achievements and failures of Lebanese development must be assessed, but also the...
