Por quà la civilizaciÃn europea evolucionà como lo hizo? Por quà fue tan diferente de la de Rusia, el mundo islÃmico y otras regiones del orbe? En este volumen Antony Black analiza algunas de las razones, estudiando las ideas acerca del Estado, la ley, el ejercicio del poder, la representaciÃn de la comunidad y el derecho a la autoadministraciÃn, y estudia cÃmo, durante un perÃodo decisivo, estas ideas arraigaron en la conciencia de la gente y fueron articuladas y justificadas por los teÃricos. Antony Black subraya la importancia de la distinciÃn entre Iglesia y Estado, asà como del mantenimiento de una sociedad internacional frente a la soberanÃa del Estado independiente. Este libro es la primera exposiciÃn global que utiliza los recientes avances de la metodologÃa de la historia de las ideas, y està concebido para su utilizaciÃn en cursos de historia medieval y de historia del pensamiento polÃtico.

Edinburgh University Press The History of Islamic Political Thought: From the Prophet to the Present
A complete history of Islamic political thought from early Islam (c.622-661) to the present. This comprehensive overview describes and interprets all schools of Islamic political thought, their origins, inter-connections and meaning. It examines the Qur'an, the early Caliphate, classical Islamic philosophy, and the political culture of the Ottoman and other empires. Major thinkers such as Averroes (Ibn Rushd) and Ibn Taymiyya are covered as well as numerous lesser authors, and Ibn Khaldun is presented as one of the most original political theorists ever. It draws on a wide range of sources including writings on religion, law, philosophy and statecraft expressed in treatises, handbooks and political rhetoric. The new edition discusses and analyses the connections between religion and politics. It incorporates recent developments in Islamic political thought before and after 9/11 and ends with a critical survey of reformism (or modernism) and Islamism (or fundamentalism) from the late nineteenth century up to the present day.
