Recent political and social events, as well as advances in science and technology, have posed challenges to the traditional Muslim discourse on ethics.
In this book, new in paperback, Amyn B. Sajoo examines these challenges and critically analyzes the implications of emerging initiatives in political pluralism and civic culture as well as moves in bio-medicine and environmental conservation. He considers how the contours of public ethics in Islam may be redefined to provide shared conceptions of the good and the practically useful in pluralist societies.
