DESCRIPTION:The Keenan Chair of Interfaith Studies and the James ÂĚñÉç Pro
 fessor of Islamic Philosophy are collaborating in a reflection on religion
 \, Islam\, and cosmopolitanism associated with ÂĚñÉç’s academic tradition

 Smith\, Fazlur Rahman\, and Toshihiko Izutsu.\n\nIn preparation for the Ke
 enan Conference on World Religions and Globalization\, to be held in Montr
 eal in Spring 2022\, we are launching an online lecture series titled ReOr
 ienting the Global Study of Religion: History\, Theory\, and Society (with
  a special focus on the interdisciplinary legacy of Ibn Khaldun).\n\nThe f
 irst speaker will be Dr Fitzroy Morrissey\, All Souls College\, University

 s Ibn Khaldūn on Sufism: Mysticism through the Lens of History\, Philosoph
 y\, and Law.\n\nThe event will take place October 28\, 2020\, 1:30 PM EDT

 n Khaldun’s relationship to Sufism\, the mystical dimension of Islam\, is 
 a complex and much-debated issue. The great North African historian and ph
 ilosopher of history has variously been described as a critic of the Sufis
 \, an admirer of Sufism\, or even a Sufi himself. Through a close look at 
 Ibn Khaldun’s discussion of Sufism in the Muqaddimah and other relevant so
 urces\, this talk aims to shed further light on the issue.\n\nPlacing Ibn 
 Khaldun’s treatment of Sufism in the context of his wider intellectual pro
 ject\, we shall consider how his views on Sufism tie into his famous philo
 sophy of history and other essential aspects of his thought. In this way\,
  the talk aims to elucidate not only Ibn Khaldun’s relationship to mystici
 sm\, but also his thought more generally.\n\nFitzroy Morrissey is a Fellow
  of All Souls College\, University of Oxford. A specialist in Sufism and I
 slamic intellectual history\, he is the author of Sufism and the Perfect H
 uman (Routledge\, 2020) and Sufism and the Scriptures (I.B. Tauris\, forth
 coming).\n
