Author ApprovedEstablished in London in 2002, the Aga Khan University, Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilisations aims to strengthen research and teaching about the heritages of Muslim societies as they have evolved over time, and to examine the challenges these societies face in today's globalising world. It also seeks to create opportunities for interaction among academics, traditionally trained scholars, innovative thinkers and leaders, in an effort to promote dialogue and build bridges.Muslim Civilisations AbstractsSeries Editor: Aptin KhanbaghiThis series presents an innovative reference catalogue of annotated bibliographies and abstracts of books published during the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries. By translating these in up to eight languages, the MCA series aims not only to represent the diversity of Muslim societies, but also to make accessible to scholars, students and the public at large the plethora of existing scholarship about Muslim civilisations.INTERPRETATIONS OF LAW AND ETHICS IN MUSLIM CONTEXTSEdited by Aptin KhanbaghiThis volume brings together some of the many unheard voices of scholars studying law and ethics in Muslim contexts. It features over 200 abstracts with bibliographical details in three languages (English, Arabic and Turkish), giving access to information about original post-1800 scholarly publications from Muslim contexts in the fields of law and ethics from different Muslim societies.
