We are excited to announce the launch of a new scholarly book series under the Trivent imprint:
Islam, Science and Ethics of Emerging Technologies
Series Editor: Dr. Hureyre Kam (Institute for Islamic Theology and Religious Education, University of Innsbruck)
This interdisciplinary series explores the dynamic engagement of Islamic intellectual traditions with contemporary science and emerging technologies. It brings classical and contemporary resources from kalām, ḥikma, fiqh, akhlāq, and taṣawwuf into critical dialogue with fields such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, neuroscience, digital religions, religious education in the digital age, environmental science, and transhumanist thought.
The series addresses pressing questions of personhood, agency, responsibility, embodiment, human enhancement, algorithmic decision-making, and ecological crisis in the Anthropocene. It welcomes both monographs and edited volumes that are theoretically rigorous, historically grounded, and normatively reflective.
Key topics include (but are not limited to):
- Islamic perspectives on artificial intelligence, robotics, and digital personhood
- Digital religions and the transformation of religious practice and community in cyberspace
- Religious education in the digital age, including AI in Islamic pedagogy and online theological formation
- Bioethics, neuroscience, and the boundaries of life and death
- Human enhancement, transhumanism, and posthumanism from Islamic viewpoints
- Science, cosmology, and Islamic metaphysics
- Environmental ethics and responsibility in the Anthropocene
- Technology, normativity, and religious epistemology
- Comparative and interreligious approaches to the ethics of emerging technologies
The series is addressed to both Muslim and non-Muslim scholars working at the intersection of Islamic studies, philosophy of technology, science and technology studies (STS), bioethics, and AI ethics.
We invite high-quality proposals for monographs and edited collections. The series aims to foster original, cross-disciplinary scholarship that enriches both Islamic thought and global debates on technology and ethics.
How to submit a proposal:
Please send a book proposal (including a title, abstract, tentative table of contents, and author/editor CV) to the Series Editor
