Recenzii

"For both secular humanists and the religiously inclined, this innovative, challenging work will come as a pleasant surprise. Akhtar brings to this work on Islam an impressive command of Western thought... not to mention an equally impressive command of Muslim thought... A well-written, powerful challenge to both Muslim and Western readers, whether of the religious or the secular variety, this work will benefit all readers interested in inter- and intra-religious dialogue. Summing up: Highly recommended." -- M. Swartz, Choice
'For both secular humanists and the religiously inclined, this innovative, challenging work will come as a pleasant surprise. Akhtar (Old Dominion Univ.) brings to this work on Islam an impressive command of Western thought from Plato and Aristotle to Kant, Hegel, and Tillich--not to mention an equally impressive command of Muslim thought, particularly on the philosophical side.' - M. Swartz, Boston University, CHOICE September 2008

"Shabbir Akhtar is a talented, thoughtful, and thorough writer who gives confidence to the committed Muslim reader that he is writing as a conscientious insider...The Quran and the Secular Mind is the result of decades of intellectual enquiry and could quite possible be referred to for years to come by all those wishing to articulate the best way to understand the Islamic tradition and its relationship to secular reason; this goes for practicing and non-practicing Mulsims and non-Muslims alike." - Amir Dastmalchian, Journal of Shi'a Studies, 2010
