Listen "On Muslim Democracy: Essays and Dialogues"
Episode Synopsis
Join Review of Democracy Ideas editor Alexandra Medzibrodszky as she hosts Professor Andrew March, a leading scholar of political philosophy and Islamic
thought, to discuss On Muslim Democracy: Essays and Dialogues. The book focuses on Rached
Ghannouchi’s political thought and offers a unique perspective on the intersection of Islamic principles and modern democratic governance.
The podcast delves into pivotal questions: What distinguishes “Islamic Democracy” from “Muslim Democracy” in Ghannouchi’s work? How does Ghannouchi balance the realities of practical politics with the ideals of Islamic thought? Professor March also reflects on the challenges of
translating Arabic political philosophy into English, shedding light on the complexities of capturing essential terms and ideas across languages.
A unique aspect of the book is the Philosophical-Theological
Dialogues, based on in-person conversations between March and Ghannouchi.
These dialogues provide a rare and engaging format, bringing Ghannouchi’s ideas into conversation with Western political theory and reveal how cross-cultural intellectual engagement can deepen our understanding of democracy’s diverse expressions.
