Yayın [Book Review]: "Human Rights, Islam and the Failure of Cosmopolitanism"(Oxford University Press, 2020) Vlug, Jeroen; Medeniyetler İttifakı Enstitüsü, Medeniyet Araştırmaları Ana Bilim DalıJune Edmunds’s work weighs in on the bourgeoning debate on Islam and human rights in the European political sphere. The book is explicitly written in the wake of several terrorist attacks in Europe (the author highlights the Charlie Hebdo and Bataclan attacks in France and the subsequent state of emergency), which intensified debates on Muslim migrants, refugees, resurgent nationalism, and national security (often at the cost of Muslim civil liberties). In this context the author asks, ‘Where do human rights stand in relation to the dilemmas thrown up by these latest attacks?’. Edmunds is clearly equipped to discuss these pertinent issues as a...Yayın [Book Review]: "The Idea of Muslim World: A Global Intellectual History"(Wiley, 2020) Vlug, Jeroen; Medeniyetler İttifakı Enstitüsü, Medeniyet Araştırmaları Ana Bilim Dalıhis volume questions the geopolitical construct of an in-ternally unified and monolithic “Muslim world” and how thisnotion has been used (and misused) to support both Muslim ex-ceptionalism and Islamophobia. Aydin claims that the idea of animagined global Muslim unity—whether invoked by Muslims ornon-Muslims—is misleading and ahistorical. Rather than beingunited by religious solidarity against an imagined religious andcivilizational Other, Aydin argues, rival Muslim dynasties his-torically have competed among themselves and have alternatedbetween strategic alliances with non-Muslims based on differ-ing interests and political agendas...Yayın The contested grounds of human rights in Islam and the West: A comparative study(İbn Haldun Üniversitesi, Medeniyetler İttifakı Enstitüsü, 2022) Vlug, Jeroen; Şentürk, Recep; Medeniyetler İttifakı Enstitüsü, Medeniyet Araştırmaları Ana Bilim DalıIn this thesis we explore the problem of the contested grounds of human rights in Islam and the West. While we live in an era in which human rights are at the center of our global moral discussions, human rights have been challenged for their bias in Eurocentric ethics and anthropologies. At the same time human rights were secularized in the twentieth century and divorced from their historical theological underpinnings, without being supplanted by any viable philosophical alternative. This has left modern human rights philosophically ungrounded and in need of a theory of justification. The current "crisis of human rights" has instigated new scholarship on the philosophical grounds of human rights, especially in Christian and Jewish ethics. The Islamic legal tradition is notably absent from this debate. Research on Islam and human rights almost exclusively focuses on a "narrative of conflict" and lacks a sustained engagement with classical Islamic law (fiqh) and legal philosophy (u??l al-fiqh). Both Orientalists and human rights lawyers have claimed Islam has no conception of human rights and is merely a "duty-based system". This thesis moves beyond the reductionism of legal Orientalism and approaches Islamic law discursively as a legal-philosophical tradition that can make worthwhile contributions to contemporary philosophical debates. Through the frameworks of comparative legal studies and conceptual history (Begriffsgeschichte), this thesis traces premodern human rights discourses in medieval and early modern Islam and the West. In doing so, we explore how human rights were conceptualized, justified and grounded, and how they may speak to our current moral concerns today.
