Appel à contribution: “Jewish and Christian reception(s) of Muslim theology”
“Jewish and Christian reception(s) of Muslim theology” International Conference, 23-25 May 2013, Istanbul Convened by the RESEARCH UNIT INTELLECTUAL HISTORY OF THE ISLAMICATE WORLD(Freie Universität Berlin) in cooperation with the SWEDISH RESEARCH INSTITUTE IN ISTANBUL Funded by the European Research Council FP7 Project “Rediscovering Theological Rationalism in the Medieval World of Islam” Call for papers In the framework of the European Research Council FP7 Project “Rediscovering Theological Rationalism in the Medieval World of Islam”, the RESEARCH UNIT INTELLECTUAL HISTORY OF THE ISLAMICATE WORLD (Freie Universität Berlin), in cooperation with the SWEDISH RESEARCH INSTITUTE IN ISTANBUL, will hold an international conference on “Jewish and Christian reception(s) of Muslim theology” on 23-25 May 2013, in Istanbul. The idea is to bring together an international group of approximately 20-25 specialists of Jewish, Christian and Muslim theology in order to discuss phenomena of reciprocity between Muslims, Christians and Jews in the field of kalām. It is well known that especially Jewish thinkers increasingly adopted Muslim(and Christian) rational theology from the 10th century CE onwards (esp. Muʿtazilite theology), and a similar phenomenon can be observed in 13th and 14th century Coptic theological writings that were under the influence of Ashʿarite (Ghazālī, Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī) and Jewish thinkers(Maimonides). By the same token, there is a near-consensus among contemporary scholars that the Muslim dialectical technique of kalām can be traced back to similar patterns of dilemmatic dialogue that were characteristic for the Christological controversies raging in 6th century Alexandria, 7th century Syria but also Manichaean patterns of disputation. Contributions are invited that will address new texts, aspects and issues within this intellectual “whirlpool” of kalām. Thanks to an Advanced Research Grant from the European Research Council, we will be able to pay for travel expenses, meals, and accommodations in Istanbul. A selection of papers will be published in 2014 in Volume Two of the journal Intellectual History of the Islamicate World (Brill) (http://www.geschkult.fu-berlin.de/e/islamwiss/Intellectual_History_in_the_Islamicate_World/Journal/index.html). Proposals (title and brief abstract of 250-500 words) should be submitted no later than Friday, June 29th, 2012 to sabineschmidtke@gmail.com.
