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.
