Long description:
Discover the essence of the Islamicate Cosmopolitan Spirit and what it has contributed to societies across the agesIn Islamicate Cosmopolitan Spirit, author and expert, Bruce B. Lawrence, delivers a spiritual elan filtered through cultural practices and artefacts. Neither juridical nor creedal, the book expresses a desire for the just and the beautiful. The author sets out an original and fascinating theory, that Islamicate cosmopolitanism marks a new turn in global history. An unceasing, self-critical pursuit of truth, hitched to both beauty and justice, its history is marked by male elites who were scientific exemplars in the pre-modern period.In the modern period, these exemplars include women as well as men, artists as well as scientists. The Islamicate Cosmopolitans have had special impact across the Afro-Eurasian ecumene at the heart of civilized exchange between multiple groups with competing yet convergent interests. The Islamicate Cosmopolitan Spirit is a boundary busting challenge to those who think of the world merely in terms of an "Arab" Middle East.Readers will also benefit from:* A thorough introduction to the Islamicate Cosmopolitan Spirit across time and space* An exploration of premodern Afro-Eurasia and Persianate Culture in the Indian Ocean* A practical discussion of the future of the Islamicate Cosmopolitan SpiritPerfect for all students of Islamicate civilization, both traditional and progressive, Islamicate Cosmopolitan Spirit will also earn a place in the libraries of general readers of world history and those grounded in the larger history of Islamicate Asia will find a perspective that centers their own contribution to the Islamicate Cosmopolitan Spirit.
"An excellent work on Islamic history, its greatest strengths are: the level of theoretical discussion, the call to a reflection on terminology, the emphasis on post-15th century Islamic history and on geographical regions outside the Arab world."--Roberto Totolli, Universita degli Studi di Napoli L'Orientale"Learned, inventive and highly perceptive.... With an astounding energy, the six chapters, plus an overview and a conclusion, stretch boundaries of Muslim subjectivities and possibilities across time and space."--Babak Rahimi, UC San Diego
