Abstract

In order to transcend the standard academic divisions (especially between legal islamology and legal anthropology) , three themes are proposed, with the study of islamic law taken as a point of departure : 1) the epistemological problems of the scholar contending with both eurocentrism and islamocentrism ; 2) the necessity of situating islamic law in a global political context, both internally and externally ; 3) the importance of reexamining the role of religion in islamic law and the need for universal concepts for understanding a legal System which is distinguished equally by customary law and rational rights.
