Self-identity and Otherness: Shia Approaches to Religious Pluralism
This panel is an examination of the history of Shia views of other religious traditions as
well as the contemporary legal-theological reflection about religious pluralism.
The aim is to discuss the theoretical and conceptual issues related to religious plurality
from the perspective of Shia Jurisprudence (fiqh) and the theological implications of
such a perspective in the construction of religious identity debates. Shias are the
minority group within Islam, having broken with the majority Sunnis in a disagreement
over the Prophet Mohammed’s successors and the role that his successors were to play.
With this panel, we intend to reflect on Shia self- perceptions and perceptions of others
with respect to religion, covering both historical and contemporary approaches. The
papers presented will reflect upon the investigation of the nature and dynamics of Shia
normative responses to religious diversity and pluralism and the challenges they face.
The aim of the panel is to bring together academics and researchers whose works are
related to the topic and to discuss recent theoretical and conceptual achievements in the
field.
