Theme

The originality of this Congress lies in its ambition to explore the links between ethics and aesthetics in Islam: how do these two dimensions intertwine in practices, representations and discourses? How are they in tension? What are the conceptual and methodological challenges that researchers face in thinking about their articulation?

Drawing on historical, cultural and artistic examples, this Congress aims to explore questions such as the entanglement between ethics and aesthetics in Islamic heritage, the implementation of aesthetic values in everyday life, the instrumentalization of art for purposes of power or religious exclusivism, the integration of art as a space for encounter with the other, theological reflection for an ethics concerned with a heritage hospitable to otherness, and the reconciliation of creative freedom with ethical responsibility.
