Introduction to MCA Themes

Scholars working on an array of topics related to Muslim civilisations have been involved in the first stage of the project, and, thanks to their dedication and insight, the MCA catalogue is equipped with the best intellectual tools for the benefit of researchers.

​

The MCA’s themes aspire to trigger reflection on the convoluted relationship of modernity to religion; on the issues linking ethics and law; on the significance of major human endeavours and environments; and on social division and education.
