The Symposium’s focus In recent years, the challenge of relating one’s own theological concept of man and his destiny to secular topics such as the invio-lability of human dignity has generated a highly dynamic discourse around the question of how Islamic anthropology can contribute to the cultivation and perfection of the individual self as well as to so-cial ‘humanisation’, especially as compared with the anthropologies of the two other monotheistic religions. The aim of this symposium is to investigate contemporary (Muslim and Non-Muslim) intertex-tual and reflexive approaches to the way the Qur’an engages with earlier texts, especially with regard to the dignity and deficiency of man, here with the special focus on the primordial myth of Adam and the special figure known as Iblis, which occurs in all three monotheistic traditions. It focuses especially on recent approaches to Qur’anic readings of this myth from the perspective of religious studies (mythology, understanding difference and otherness), Qur’anic exegesis (intra- and intertextual dynamics) and systematic theology (scriptural hermeneutics etc.) and aims to bring these perspectives into a fruitful dialogue.
