Abstract

The goal of this chapter is to reappraise the influence of the ancient Greek legacy on various Islamic theories about the origins of human society and political authority in the medieval and early modern periods. The endeavour to reconcile pagan learning and revealed knowledge generated diverse approaches to the evolution of human civilisation and the divine provenance of kingship. Islamic theories of social genesis are predicated on a distinct concept of social covenant that prevailed in the Islamic world long before the emergence of social contract theories in Western Europe. At the same time, it is tied to a proto-Weberian notion of charismatic leadership that stresses the ruler’s exceptional qualities and status as God’s deputy on earth that was nurtured by the teachings of Islam and coloured by the Greek and other traditions.
