Summary

Das Buch widmet sich den Argumenten zeitgenössischer muslimischer Denker zum Thema Krieg und Frieden und behandelt die konfessionelle, geografische und ideologische Diversität islamischer Friedensethik. Ein Teil der Beiträge wurde verfasst von unterschiedlichen Gruppierungen und Gelehrten, die sowohl die sunnitischen als auch die schiitischen Zweige des Islams repräsentieren, und es gibt Beiträge zu den unterschiedlichen Einstellungen gegenüber Gewalt, ausgehend von Pazifismus und Traditionalismus hin zu Fundamentalismus und Dschihadismus. Die Beiträger sind Wissenschaftler aus verschiedenen Ländern, u.a. Indonesien, Pakistan, dem Iran, der Türkei, Deutschland, dem Vereinigten Königreich, den USA und Belgien. Die Kapitel des Buches behandeln das Thema aus unterschiedlichen disziplinären Perspektiven wie Theologie, Philosophie, Religions-, Kultur- und Politikwissenschaft. Das Buch ist in drei Teile gegliedert: a) Methodik und Theorie islamischer Friedensethik, b) Jus ad bellum und c) Jus in bello.
