Philosophie und Islam – Teil 1

The text assembles a serie of reviews devoted to recent publications that circle around philosophy, ethics, and education in Islamic contexts. Its guiding concern is how Islamic intellectual traditions may be approached historically and systematically, while still legible in modernity. At the beginning stands Souleymane Bachir Diagne's effort to decolonize the writing of philosophy's history and to retell it as a trans-cultural migration of learning. Islamic philosophy appears not as mere reception, but as a creative labor of appropriation, translation, and renewal of philosophical problems. The review provides also a systematic access to Islamic ethics (Hajatpour), virtue ethics and self-cultivation (Işik). The large Überweg volume on philosophy in the Islamic world in the nineteenth and twentieth century seeks to correct Eurocentric reductions with scholarly breadth. Further sections underscore the methodological weight of translation and comparison (Falaturi).
