Our today's guest is Faisal Devji. Faisal is a historian who specializes in studies of Islam, globalization, violence, and ethics. He is a professor at St. Antony’s College at the University of Oxford. His multidisciplinary work grounds empirical historical issues in philosophical questions. Some of his published work includes "Landscapes of the Jihad: Militancy, Morality, Modernity," which explores the ethical content of jihad, and "The Impossible Indian: Gandhi and the Temptations of Violence," which presents Gandhi as a hard-hitting political thinker rather than an idealistic pacifist.
