Reviews

As the world is caught up in a whirlwind of multiple crises - social, political and ecological - we desperately need to read this superb volume on global justice from different perspectives including the Islamic one (theorized by Louay Safi as Rational idealism). Some 8 distinguished scholars deliver compiling reflections, raising a loud voice in favor of a more ethical order. -- Sari Hanafi, professor of sociology, American University of Beirut In these well-researched and clearly argued essays, Louay Safi and his colleagues address two themes neglected for too long: how global justice applies to Muslim polities today and how Muslim scholars today seek to implement justice so conceived. Written with verve and deep insight, these essays speak poignantly and practically to the problems besetting our world now. -- Charles E. Butterworth, Emeritus Professor, University of Maryland
