Religious Communities and Political Society in Islamic Legal Constructions

Baber Johansen

Description

The first session of the lecture course will discuss two forms of relation between the political authorities on the one hand, the religious communities on the other. The first one is a system of tolerance and toleration, the second one a system of pluralism. The following four sessions of the lecture course will be dedicated to the transition from the first to the second system in France and in the USA, during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The next four sessions will be used to discuss Islamic law's definition of a system of tolerance and toleration and its historical development and practice until the nineteenth century.
