A review of classicalQurʾanic exegeses shows that neither the exegets havebeen concerned with building theories of ethics based on the Qurʾan (al-Khaṭīb 2017), nor have Muslim scholars in general, even though the sacred text is all about ethics (Rahman 1982, 154–155). It was the challenge of modernity that required revisiting the Islamic tradition in search of Islamic philosophy, or Arab(ic) philosophy as some prefer to call it (Ṣalībā 1989, 9–11). The avant-guardist thinkers of the so-called Arab-Islamic nahḍa (awakening or renaissance) of the 19th century, like Rifaʿa Rafiʿ al-Tahtawi (1801–1873), Jamal al-Din al-Afghani (1838–1897) and Muhammad Abduh (1849–1905), did not deal with this question of ethics as contemporary scholars do. Intead, they focalized the question of reason and rationality at the time. The colonial context did not help them to developmodern theories of ethics, nor to delve into the vast heritage of the tradition to find ethical starting points fromwhere to build and inspire ethical responses to the challenges of modern times. However, new arguments to consider the Qurʾan to be a philosophical and ethical text have emerged from themid-20th century","PeriodicalId":300421,"journal":{"name":"Islamic Ethics and the Trusteeship Paradigm: Taha Abderrahmane’s Philosophy in Comparative Perspectives","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127663665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They might also work with philosophers’ concepts and theories. Clifford Geertz (1926– 2006)developedhismain concept in cultural anthropology, “thickdescription,” fromGilbert Ryle’s (1900–1976) ordinary language philosophy, and the concept of “family resemblances” from LudwigWittgenstein’s (1889–1951). Pierre Bourdieu (1930–2002) was tremendously influenced by the philosopher of science Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962), particularly by his idea of “epistemological obstacle” in The Formation of the Scientific Mind (1938). Likewise, Talal Asad (b. 1932) has developed “the idea of an anthropology of Islam” (1986) based on Alasdair MacIntyre’s (b. 1929) understanding of tradition and virtue and on Michel Foucault’s (1926–1984) definition of power and discourse. The latter example is interesting in many regards, primarily because Asad, who has deconstructed the abstract category of “religion” (1993) as so deeply indebted to protestant theological emphasis on the inner life of believers, is apparently drawing his analytical framework to study Islam and Muslim practice on ideas, discourses and ontologies outside the realm of Islam as a discursive tradition. This is not to insinuate, as I will show in this chapter, the need to “be a Muslim” in order to study the Muslim subject or to refuse resourcing the anthropological analysis in traditions other than Islam. Rather, it is to show how neglecting Islam at the level of analysis can downplay important and crucial aspects of the reality of faith—particularly the modalities of Muslim-God relationship. In this chapter, through Taha Abderrahmane’s “Trusteeship Philosophy” which is rooted in the Qurʾanic idea of trust (amāna)1 that bonds the divine","PeriodicalId":300421,"journal":{"name":"Islamic Ethics and the Trusteeship Paradigm: Taha Abderrahmane’s Philosophy in Comparative Perspectives","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131955129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
