Person
Anthony F. Shaker is a philosopher, scholar of Islamic thought/civilization, and analyst of social theory. He has authored numerous articles and books, including the only complete study of ¿adr al-D¿n Q¿naw¿'s thought (d. 1274 CE) and two translated volumes of Ghaz¿l¿'s I¿y¿' al-¿ul¿m. He also served as an elected member of the executive council of the Canadian parliament's official opposition, helping formulate policy and conferring with various political leaders. He is currently exploring the idea of productive dialogue within the framework of civilization, not only as a channel of passive exchange across cultures. He obtained his doctorate from McGill University and currently lives with his wife in Quebec, Canada.
