<p><b>Discover the essence of the Islamicate Cosmopolitan Spirit and what it has contributed to societies across the ages </b></p> <p>In <i>Islamicate Cosmopolitan Spirit,</i> author and expert, Bruce B. Lawrence, delivers a spiritual elan filtered through cultural practices and artefacts. Neither juridical nor creedal, the book expresses a desire for the just and the beautiful. The author sets out an original and fascinating theory, that Islamicate cosmopolitanism marks a new turn in global history. An unceasing, self-critical pursuit of truth, hitched to both beauty and justice, its history is marked by male elites who were scientific exemplars in the pre-modern period. </p> <p>In the modern period, these exemplars include women as well as men, artists as well as scientists. The Islamicate Cosmopolitans have had special impact across the Afro-Eurasian ecumene at the heart of civilized exchange between multiple groups with competing yet convergent interests. The<i> Islamicate Cosmopolitan Spirit </i>is a boundary busting challenge to those who think of the world merely in terms of an “Arab” Middle East.  </p> <p>Readers will also benefit from: </p> <ul> <li>A thorough introduction to the Islamicate Cosmopolitan Spirit across time and space </li> <li>An exploration of premodern Afro-Eurasia and Persianate Culture in the Indian Ocean </li> <li>A practical discussion of the future of the Islamicate Cosmopolitan Spirit </li> </ul> <p>Perfect for all students of Islamicate civilization, both traditional and progressive, <i>Islamicate Cosmopolitan Spirit</i> will also earn a place in the libraries of general readers of world history and those grounded in the larger history of Islamicate Asia will find a perspective that centers their own contribution to the Islamicate Cosmopolitan Spirit. </p>
