Zusammenfassung:In this reading of Islamic legal hermeneutics, Robert Gleave explores various competing notions of literal meaning, linked to both theological doctrine and historical developments, together with insights from modern semantic and pragmatic philosophers.

As Islamic law is based on the central texts of Islam, the idea of a literal meaning that rules over human attempts to understand God's message has resulted in a series of debates amongst modern Muslim legal theorists. Key Features. Focuses on Islamic legal writings, with reference to Qur'anic exegesis (tafsir) and Arabic rhetorical works Describes Muslim debates through the lens of modern Western linguistic philosophy, opening the topic up for Western scholars
