Abstract

This is the first monograph in English devoted to the central Qur'anic idea of the fitra: that there is a way that human beings simply are, by nature or creation. Uncovering the medieval Islamic philosophical tradition's engagement with fitra, the author explores important and wider contested questions in contemporary ethics.
