Sommario/riassunto

This book presents selected essays on the epistemological foundation of the Islamic world-system, in the light of the exegesis of the Qur’an, to develop existing understandings of Islamic economics. A selection of key contributions by one of the world's leading figures working at the nexus of Islamic social sciences, Islamic philosophy, and Islamic economics, the book integrates applied foundations of Islamic economics and Islamic philosophy, presenting a critical outlook on the existing state of Islamic economics and Islamic finance, within a broader framework of socio-scientific enquiry, philosophical perspectives on Islam, and philosophy of science. The author confronts the absence of epistemic groundwork upon which any fresh social and scientific enquiry is developing in Islamic economics, casting the discussion within an explanatory framework of ‘the unity of knowledge’ as bestowed by Islamic monotheistic law, which substantively characterizes the generalization and details of ‘everything’. The present work unravels this objective methodology and its application with reference to a limited number of issues and problems in global economics. Complex and multidisciplinary in its treatment, this book presents the key arguments on mathematical, philosophical, and socio-scientific modes of inquiry in deriving, developing, and empirically applying the Qur’anic methodology of the “unity of knowledge” to economic problems. It is relevant to scholars and advanced students in social scientific studies of Islam, Islamic theology and philosophy, and Islamic economics and finance.

Sommario/riassunto

This book takes a unique approach to explore the moral foundations of



nationalism. Drawing on nationalist writings and examining almost 200 years of nationalism in Ireland and Quebec, the author develops a theory of nationalism based on its role in representation.The study of nationalism has tended towards the construction of dichotomies - arguing, for example, that there are political and cultural, or civic and ethnic, versions of the phenomenon. However, as an object of moral scrutiny this bifurcation makes nationalism difficult to work with. The author draws o

Sommario/riassunto

This book offers an overview of sustainability and urban mobility in the context of urban planning – topics that are of considerable interest in the development of smart cities. Environmental sustainability is universally recognized as a fundamental condition for any urban policy or urban management activity, while mobility is essential for the survival of complex urban systems. The new opportunities offered by innovations in the mobility of people, goods and information, as well as radically changing interactions and activities are transforming cities. Including contributions by urban planning scholars, the book provides an up-to-date picture of the latest studies and innovative policies and practices in Italy, of particular interest due to its spatial, functional and social peculiarities. Sustainability and mobility must form the basis of “smart planning” – a new dimension of urban planning linked to two main innovations: procedural innovation in the management of territorial transformations and the technological innovation of the generation, processing and distribution of data (big data) for the creation of new "digital environments" such as GIS, BIM, models of augmented and mixed reality, useful for describing changes in human settlement in real time.
