Description
Hay libros en los que Al-Ándalus no es más que una excusa para hablar de Europa u "Occidente". El enfoque de este libro ha sido analizar el saber andalusí dentro de su propio contexto, el de una sociedad islámica pre-moderna. Después de todo, los andalusíes no crearon ni transmitieron sus saberes en función de la influencia que esos saberes pudiesen tener en el mundo cristiano u "occidental". Su mirada estaba dirigida, en primer lugar, hacia ellos mismos y, en segundo lugar, hacia el resto del mundo musulmán. Si no queremos quedarnos en una visión eurocentrista de lo que fue Al-Ándalus tendremos que hacer el esfuerzo de intentar ver ese mundo desde sus propias coordenadas religiosas e intelectuales. Maribel Fierro es investigadora especialista en estudios árabes e islámicos en el Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (Madrid). Su interés se centra en las relaciones entre las creencias religiosas de los musulmanes, sus prácticas sociales y la producción intelectual. Sus estudios han versado fundamentalmente sobre la sociedad islámica andalusí, prestando especial atención a la construcción de la ortodoxia y a la implantación y desarrollo del derecho islámico.
