Interrogating the development and conceptual framework of economic thought in the Islamic tradition pertaining to ethical, philosophical, and theological ideas, this book provides a critique of modern Islamic economics as a hybrid economic system. From the outset, Sami Al-Daghistani is concerned with the polyvalent methodology of studying the phenomenon of Islamic economic thought as a human science in that it nurtures a complex plentitude of meanings and interpretations associated with the moral self. By studying legal scholars, theologians, and Sufis in the classical period, Al-Daghistani looks at economic thought in the context of Sharī'a's moral law. Alongside critiquing modern developments of Islamic economics, he puts forward an idea for a plural epistemology of Islam's moral economy, which advocates for a multifaceted hermeneutical reading of the subject in light of a moral law, embedded in a particular cosmology of human relationality, metaphysical intelligibility, and economic subjectivity.

'Sami Al-Daghistani breaks new ground in this remarkable book addressing the crucial role of moral cosmology in Islamic economic theory and practice. The breadth in this work is extraordinary, bringing many major pre-modern and modern Muslim scholars into conversation with western economic thought. A highly rewarding read for anyone interested in 'holistic,' conventional, or Islamic economics.' Waleed El-Ansary, Xavier University
