Political Theory in Classical Islam between Plato & Aristotle and al-Mawardi (and beyond)
It is well known that political thought in Islam is a synthesis of ancient Greek theory, Iranian ideas on statecraft and specific Islamic concepts of the Caliphate and the ideal government. The texts that we shall read and discuss will concern the classics such as al-Farabi, Averroes, and al-Mawardi, but will go beyond these in three respects: chronologically (authors from the Mamluk and the Ottoman period), concerning literary genre (including mirrors for princes, poems in praise of a ruler, historiography, satire, etc.), and concerning denominational boundaries, i.e. including Jewish and Christian sources.
