978-0-19-766687-6 (ISBN)
The head of the Ennahda Party, and an internationally prominent Muslim political thinker and intellectual, Rached Ghannouchi is known around the world as the preeminent theorist of a reconciliation between modern Islamic political thought and democratic theory. On Muslim Democracy gathers a number of Ghannouchi's most important essays, making them available in English for the first time. The book also includes a lengthy philosophical-theological dialogue between Ghannouchi and American political theorist Andrew March. In the dialogues, March and Ghannouchi discuss the influences on and evolution of Ghannouchi's thought, and the meaning of concepts like democracy, pluralism, justice, and law across Islamic and Western philosophical traditions.
This volume presents a well-rounded view into the influential work of Rached Ghannouchi, further supported by previously unpublished, illuminating conversations on critical topics in Muslim politics.
Rached Ghannouchi is one of the world's leading Islamic thinkers, who served as speaker of the Tunisian Parliament between 2019 and 2021. He has written dozens of books in Arabic, many of which have been translated into other languages, including Public Freedoms in the Islamic State, which has just been published in English. Andrew F. March is Professor of Political Science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He has also taught political theory and Islamic political thought at Harvard, Yale and NYU. He is the author of The Caliphate of Man: Popular Sovereignty in Modern Islamic Thought and Islam and Liberal Citizenship: The Search for an Overlapping Consensus.
