Machiavelli or Gandhi?
Carool Kersten, 2009, original scientific article

Abstract: This article examines the doctrine of non-violence formulated by the Thai political scientist Chaiwat Satha-Anand, based on a close reading of his thesis "The Non-Violent Prince". Chaiwat's theoretical considerations will be related to the work of the political philosopher Leo Strauss. To illustrate his case for a pragmatic ethics of non-violence, Chaiwat Satha-Anand's doctrine will also be contrasted with the Gandhian notion of non-violence through a comparison with the writings of the French Islamologist Louis Massignon on the subject. Apart from this contrast, Massignon's concern with non-violent solutions for conflicts in the Muslim world forms an interesting parallel to Chaiwat Satha-Anand's engagement with similar issues affecting Thailand's Muslims

Bold transmutations
Carool Kersten, 2007, original scientific article

Abstract: Following Ebrahim Moosa's suggestion regarding fresh approaches to the study of religion by relying on other scholarly specializations such as Translation Studies, this article attempts to apply the achievements made in that relatively new field of academic inquiry to the Egyptian philosopher Hasan Hanafi's contributions to the radical rereading of usul al-fiqh. Refracting Hanafi's first publication, Les méthodes d'exégèse, through notions and concepts developed in Translation Studies will demonstrate the boldness of Hanafi's innovations. Such an alterative assessment of this early work will also evince that the theoretical foundations for his better-known writings from the 1980's, on "Leftist Islam" and the ambitions "heritage and renewal" project, can already be discerned in this text from the 1960s
