Abstract
|
"In Visions of sharåi°a Bhojani, De Rooij and Bohlander present the first broad examination of ways in which legal theory (uòsåul al-fiqh) within Twelver Shi’i thought continues to be a forum for vibrant debates regarding the assumptions, epistemology and hermeneutics of sharåi°a in contemporary Shi’i thought. Bringing together authoritative voices and emerging scholars, from both ’traditional’ seminaries and ’Western’ academies, the distinct critical insider and emic accounts provided develop a novel avenue in Islamic legal studies. Contextualised through reference to the history of Shi’i legal theory as well as contemporary juristic practice and socio-political considerations, the volume demonstrates how one of the most intellectually vibrant and developed discourses of Islamic thought continues to be a key forum for exploring visions of sharåi°a"-- Provided by publisher.
