Turkish Islamic leader Fethullah Gülen offers a distinctive view of
responsibility, which is explored here for the first time. Simon
Robinson shows how Gülen's writings, influenced by both orthodox
Islam and the Sufi tradition, contribute a dynamic, holistic and
interactive view of responsibility which locates personal identity,
agency and freedom in plural relationships.
_The Spirituality of Responsibility_ also explores the practice of
responsibility in Gülen's life and in the Hizmet movement which he
founded. Gülen has been at the centre of many controversies,
including in his Movement's relationship with the Turkish government.
Charting Gülen's response, from the Israeli Gaza blockade through to
more recent crises, the book critiques aspects of both this practice
and underlying ideas, and argues that responsibility, focused in
dialogue and peace-building, is continuing to evolve in the leadership
and practice of the movement, providing a challenge to conventional
views of governance and responsibility.
This book is an important contribution both to the theological and
philosophical debate about responsibility but also to the practice of
responsibility focused in creative action, debates in business and
contemporary society about responsible governance and enterprise.
