    Introduction-Critique and Change: Al-Jabri in Contemporary Arab Thought

    No full text
    This book offers the first comprehensive introduction to one of the most significant Arab thinkers of the late 20th century and the early 21st century: the Moroccan philosopher and social theorist Mohammed Abed al-Jabri. With his intellectual and political engagement, al-Jabri has influenced the development of a modern reading of the Islamic tradition in the broad Arab-Islamic world and has been, in recent years, subject to an increasing interest among Muslims and non-Muslim scholars, social activists and lay men. The contributors to this volume read al-Jabri with reference to prominent past Arab-Muslim scholars, such as Ibn Rushd, al-Ghazali, al-Shatibi, and Ibn Khaldun, as well as contemporary Arab philosophers, like Hassan Hanafi, Abdellah Laroui, George Tarabishi, Taha Abderrahmane; they engage with various aspects of his intellectual project, and trace his influence in non-Arab-Islamic lands, like Indonesia, as well. His analysis of Arab thought since the 1970s as a harbinger analysis of the ongoing “Arab Spring uprising” remains relevant for today's political challenges in the region

    Childhood behaviour problems in urban Sudan

    No full text
    Exploring the role of culture in human development and psychopathy, the present thesis examined the relationship between Sudanese children's behaviour problems and their socio-cultural context. This involved two stages. First, a qualitative investigation into the Sudanese adult's views of normal and abnormal child development was undertaken. There was unanimity that religious and cultural beliefs mediate concepts of normal and abnormal development and intercede patterns of child-care. In the second stage a larger quantitative study was conducted with the aim of developing an instrument that would provide a valid and reliable measure to identify the children's behaviour deviance in the Sudanese context.Sudanese parents and teachers completed behaviour rating scales on a stratified sample of 300 children. These instruments were based on Conners' original questionnaires and were adopted to include items thought to be relevant to Sudanese culture. Following item analysis and exclusion, the reliability, factor structure and internal consistency of a 34 item teacher questionnaire and a 64 item parent questionnaire were explored.Both instruments produced an intuitively appealing and reliable factor structure. As far as linguistic and conceptual equivalence with previous studies in different cultures was concerned it appeared that the Sudanese teachers' views of problems mirrored their western counterparts more closely than did the parents. As with studies in other countries teachers ratings produced a clear distinction between externalising and internalising problems and within these bands, a distinction between hyperactivity and conduct problems and between anxiety and sadness/depression. However, the structure of parent's ratings did not produce such clear cut distinctions. For instance, there were no clear conduct problem or hyperactivity factors. In line with an ecological approach this thesis also examined the structural socio-demographic aspects and their effect on family structure, parenting, and patterns of child behaviour problems.</p

    Discusiones sobre la teología de al-Bāqillānī en el Magreb: el Tasdīd fī šarḥ al-Tamhīd de ‘Abd al-Ŷalīl b. Abī Bakr al-Dībāŷī al-raba‘ī

    [EN] This paper presents a unique manuscript copy of a fifth/eleventh-century Maghribī commentary on al-Bāqillānī’s Kitāb al-Tamhīd. The work, entitled al-Tasdīd fī sharḥ al-Tamhīd, was written by ‘Abd al-Jalīl b. Abī Bakr alDībājī —also known as Ibn al-Ṣābūnī— who had studied the Kitāb al-Tamhīd with al-Bāqillānī’s disciples in Qayrawān. The present study first reviews the transmission of alBāqillānī’s work to the Islamic west. It then continues to present the author of the commentary, to reconstruct the work’s genesis and to describe its content. The final section focuses on a sample chapter and argues that alDībājī follows al-Bāqillānī’s later position on a specific theory —the so-called theory of aḥwāl— of which the Tamhīd strongly disapproved. The Tasdīd is one of the oldest texts of Maghribī Ash‘arism that has come down to us and provides valuable new insights into the school’s early history in the Islamic west[ES] En este artículo presentamos un manuscrito único de un comentario magrebí del Kitāb alTamhīd de al-Bāqillānī datado en elsiglo V/XI. La obra se titula al-Tasdīd fīšarḥ al-Tamhīd escrita por ‘Abd al-Ŷalīl b. Abī Bakr al-Dībāŷī —también conocido como Ibn al-Ṣābūnī—quien estudió el Tamhīd con otros discípulos de al-Bāqillānī en Qayrawān. El presente estudio revisa el proceso de transmisión de la obra de al-Bāqillānī en el Occidente Islámico. Después continúa presentando al autor del comentario, reconstruyendo la génesis del texto y describiendo su contenido. La sección final escoge un capítulo del texto que se ha seleccionado para demostrar cómo al-Dībāŷī sigue la posición tardía de al-Bāqillānī con respecto a la llamada teoría de los aḥwāl- duramente criticada en el Tamhīd. El Tasdīd constituye uno de los textos más antiguos del aš‘arismo magrebí que ha llegado hasta nosotros, ofreciéndonos nuevas y valiosas perspectivas sobre la historia de esta escuela teológica en el Occidente islámicoThe research leading to these results has received funding from the People Programme (Marie Curie Actions) of the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under REA grant agreement no 624808 and the Spanish government’s Ramón y Cajal programme (RYC-2015-18346) awarded to Jan Thiele.
