{"product_id":"human-rights-and-reformist-islam-mohsen-kadivar-9781474449304","title":"Human Rights and Reformist Islam","description":"'Human Rights and Reformist Islam' critiques traditional Islamic approaches to the question of compatibility between human rights and Islam, and argues instead for their reconciliation from the perspective of a reformist Islam. The book focuses on six controversial case studies: religious discrimination; gender discrimination; slavery; freedom of religion; punishment of apostasy; and arbitrary or harsh punishments. Explaining the strengths of structural ijtihad, Mohsen Kadivar's draws on the rational classification of Islamic teachings as temporal or permanent on the one hand, and four criteria of being Islamic on the other: reasonableness, justice, morality and efficiency. He rejects all of the problematic verses and Hadith according to these criteria. The result is a powerful, solutions-based argument based on reformist Islam - providing a scholarly bridge between modernity and Islamic tradition in relation to human rights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mohsen Kadivar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474449301\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474449304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.19d","brand":"Mohsen Kadivar","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43986560745727,"sku":"9781474449304","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_22b88f17-b368-4ecc-b42e-09a57a836b84.jpg?v=1683284073","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/human-rights-and-reformist-islam-mohsen-kadivar-9781474449304","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
