项目摘要

This project draws upon both fresh and existing case studies of principled pacifism and nonviolence in the modern Islamic tradition to develop an analytical intellectual history and a rigorous theoretical typology. This new typology represents a fundamentally new departure in the study of these branches of the Islamic tradition, and will both communicate original findings and fruitfully systematise existing research on the one hand, and on the other provide an inter-disciplinary methodological basis for future research. It brings together research and researchers in Islamic studies and moral philosophy so as to develop a much-needed general critical account of the varied roles played by principled pacifism and nonviolence in modern Islam. In its aims, scope, and methods, this project is the first of its kind and makes meaningful contributions both to scholarship and the public understanding of religion.This inter-disciplinary effort analyses explicitly Islamic forms of principled pacifism and nonviolence within their respective historical, theological, and hermeneutic contexts. Rather than arguing prescriptively for the existence of a single authoritative and coherent Islamic approach to pacifism and nonviolence, this study explores multiple approaches while relating them to one another and to the wider contexts of which they form a part. This includes both engagement with characteristically Islamic practices and hermeneutics on the one hand, and an awareness of inter-religious and inter-cultural influence, dialogue, and syncretism on the other. Case studies will range from notable historical figures (incl. Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi, Abd al-Qadir al-Jaza'iri, Abdul Ghaffar Khan, Mahmoud Mohammad Taha) to influential contemporary scholars and activists (incl. Muhammad Abu-Nimer, Rabia Terri Harris, Ramin Jahanbegloo, Chaiwat Satha-Anand, Mustapha Barghouti).This project's descriptive approach recognises the multifarious roles played by principled pacifism and nonviolence in modern Islam in terms of their heterogeneous understandings, experiences, justification, and normative consequences. While thoroughgoing recognition of this multiplicity in itself represents a meaningful contribution to work in the field, this project goes further. Beyond recognising the broad gamut of Islamic pacifisms to be found in the modern period, this project develops a systematic typological account of principled pacifism and nonviolence as families of phenomena in modern Islam. To do so, this study draws upon the large and growing literature on the philosophy of pacifism and nonviolence. These philosophical debates provide a rigorous and richly elaborated set of conceptual, normative, and methodological tools which have to date been markedly under-represented in writing on peace and nonviolence in Islam. While this philosophical literature has historically engaged deeply with other religious traditions (particularly Christianity and the Dharmic traditions of South Asia), no comparably substantive dialogue with Islamic thought has to date been achieved. This project will help to redress this historical imbalance. It will both enrich the existing literatures on pacifism and nonviolence in Islamic studies by applying the rigorous frameworks developed by political and moral philosophers on the one hand, and open new avenues for philosophers to explore the insights and intellectual heritage of Islamic thought. As a result, this project builds capacity in qualitative research methodologies while encouraging inter-disciplinarily. Through its core activities and their dissemination, this project will furthermore develop the research community both by supporting new researchers and by integrating them with established networks.

该项目借鉴了现代伊斯兰传统中有原则的和平主义和非暴力的新鲜和现有的案例研究，以发展分析性的思想史和严格的理论类型学。这种新的类型学代表了对这些伊斯兰传统分支研究的一个根本的新起点，一方面将传播原始发现，并使现有研究富有成效地系统化，另一方面为未来的研究提供跨学科的方法论基础。它汇集了伊斯兰研究和道德哲学方面的研究人员，以便对现代伊斯兰教中有原则的和平主义和非暴力所扮演的各种角色进行急需的一般性批评。就其目的、范围和方法而言，该项目是同类研究中的首例，对学术研究和公众对宗教的理解都做出了有意义的贡献。这种跨学科的努力明确分析了伊斯兰形式的原则和平主义和非暴力在各自的历史，神学和解释学背景。本研究并没有规定性地论证存在一种权威的、连贯的伊斯兰和平主义和非暴力方法，而是探讨了多种方法，同时将它们彼此联系起来，并将它们与构成它们一部分的更广泛的背景联系起来。一方面，这包括与典型的伊斯兰实践和解释学的接触，另一方面，也包括对宗教间和文化间影响、对话和融合的认识。案例研究的范围从著名的历史人物（包括Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi， Abd al-Qadir al-Jaza'iri, Abdul Ghaffar Khan, Mahmoud Mohammad Taha）到有影响力的当代学者和活动家（包括Muhammad Abu-Nimer， Rabia Terri Harris, Ramin Jahanbegloo, Chaiwat Satha-Anand, Mustapha Barghouti）。本项目的描述方法认识到现代伊斯兰教中有原则的和平主义和非暴力在其异质的理解、经验、理由和规范后果方面所发挥的多种作用。虽然彻底认识到这种多样性本身就是对该领域工作的一项有意义的贡献，但该项目更进一步。除了认识到现代伊斯兰和平主义的广泛范围之外，本项目还对原则和平主义和非暴力作为现代伊斯兰教现象的家族进行了系统的类型学描述。为了做到这一点，本研究借鉴了大量和不断增长的关于和平主义和非暴力哲学的文献。这些哲学辩论提供了一套严谨而丰富的概念、规范和方法论工具，迄今为止，这些工具在伊斯兰教的和平与非暴力写作中明显缺乏代表性。虽然这种哲学文学在历史上与其他宗教传统（特别是基督教和南亚的达摩传统）有着深刻的联系，但迄今为止还没有与伊斯兰思想进行过类似的实质性对话。这个项目将有助于纠正这种历史失衡。一方面，它将通过应用政治和道德哲学家开发的严格框架，丰富伊斯兰研究中关于和平主义和非暴力的现有文献，并为哲学家探索伊斯兰思想的见解和知识遗产开辟新的途径。因此，该项目在鼓励跨学科的同时，建立了定性研究方法的能力。通过其核心活动及其传播，该项目将进一步发展研究界，支持新的研究人员并将他们与已建立的网络结合起来。
