Critical Muslim, Volume 48
Saliha
For sale in CIS only!
Saliha, translated, means "virtuous". A question becomes timeless not because it lacks an answer, but also because it requires revisiting as contexts change. So, in our ever-changing, post-normal world, the time is ripe to ask: What does it mean to be a good person or to bring out the good in others or society? Whereas "virtues discourse" largely revolves around ethics dominated by Ancient Greek and modern or contemporary Western thought, this issue seeks a more critical analysis of Islamic and other non-Western virtues. We will explore other, less-often-heard, harder-to-name virtues, fit for the present era.
"Critical Muslim" is a quarterly publication of ideas and issues showcasing groundbreaking thinking on Islam and what it means to be a Muslim in a rapidly changing, interconnected world. Each edition centres on a discrete theme, and contributions include reportage, academic analysis, cultural commentary, photography, poetry, and book reviews.
