Despite differences, they have shared a concern with the perfection of the soul through the development of character. In The Polished Mirror, Cyrus Ali Zargar studies the ways in which, through teaching and storytelling, pre-modern Muslims lived, negotiated, and cultivated virtues. Examining the writings of philosophers, ascetics, poets, and saints, he locates virtue ethics within a dynamic moral tradition.Innovative, engaging, and approachable, this work - the first in the English language to explore Islamic ethics in the fascinating context of narrative - will be a valuable resource for both students and scholars.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52196979835168,"sku":"NEW1786072017","price":34.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/919XSo_8mBL.jpg?v=1786957808","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/polished-mirror-storytelling-and-the-pursuit-of-virtue-in-islamic-philosophy-and-sufism-1786072017","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
