5. Colloque Tunis: « Le politique en terre d’Islam », Tunis, 7-10 Octobre 2015
En proposant ce colloque nous voudrions suivre de près l’évolution de la pensée politique en terre d’Islam. Comment les musulmans à travers les âges et dans les différentes aires ont pensé la chose politique ? Le kalām était –il à l’origine des discussions ou débats politiques ? Quand est-ce que le terme « siyāssa » ou « tadbīr » fut inventé ? Quand est-ce qu’on l’a utilisé comme équivalent du terme « politique » ?
