Philosophies of Islamic Education: Historical Perspectives and Emerging Discourses (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780367195885)

This volume reflects the diverse and often competing notions of Islamic education and its implications for contemporary discourse. Investigating the philosophy, worldviews, pedagogy, and institutions of Islamic education, it represents a unique collaboration from world leading academics and practitioners in the field. It borrows from theology, philosophy, history, psychology, sociology and educational studies to examine perennial debates in the field of education. Without advocating 'one' vision of Islamic education, the volume echoes the neglected and marginalized voices in the field and makes a lasting contribution to Islamic and interfaith studies.
