POLITICAL THOUGHT OF SUNNI SECT OR POLITICAL THOUGHT OF ISLAM? BOOK REVIEW: POLITICAL THOUGHT IN MEDIEVAL ISLAM

This paper firstly introduces the structure and the content of ʹPolitical Thought in Medieval Islamʹ. The content has two main parts, covering ten chapters totally. In the main part of the paper some critical notes are mentioned and some ameliorative and constructive suggestions are presented. The major headlines of these critiques are as follows: lacking clear methodology and theoretical framework, concentration on political thought of Sunni sect and paying no attention to Shiite political thought, focusing on debt of Islam to Christianity and Judaism, the need to review technical terms and preparation of bibliography or list of referendces, and finally accounting some scientific doubts using descriptive footnotes. The book, however, is useful as a classic work in political thought of Islam and is useful as an academic text alongside other books.
