Reform and Modernity in Islam: The Philosophical, Cultural and Political Discourses Among Muslim Reformers: LIBRARY OF MODERN RELIGION, cartea 26

Autor Safdar Ahmed
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 iun 2013
The debate over Islam and modernity is approached from a Eurocentric perspective that presents Western norms as a template for progress. This misses the development of Muslim reformist thought that actively engages with the world around it and seeks to reconfigure Islam within the diverse conditions of modernity.

Recenzii

'This is an excellent and thought-provoking book on an important topic. Written withelegance and style, it presents a multi-layered analysis of hw Musli intellectuals have dealt with 'modernity'. It is at once a critical review of the ways in which conceptions of modernity, although developed in historically specific circumstances, are often conceived of today as a single ideology, and a subtle and informed interpretation of Islamic reformist thought of various kinds. It cogently argues that reformism cannot be understood without relating it to changing power relationships and evolving conceptualisations of religion, literature, gender and state.'
