Contemporary thought in the Islamic world

Includes bibliographical references and index.

This book presents an intellectual history of today's Muslim world, surveying contemporary Muslim thinking in its various manifestations, addressing a variety of themes that impact on the lives of present-day Muslims. Focusing on the period from roughly the late 1960s to the first decade of the twenty-first century, the book is global in its approach and offers an overview of the different strands of thought and trends in the development of new ideas, distinguishing between traditional, reactionary and progressive approaches. It presents a variety of themes and issues including: The continuing relevance of the laegacy of transmitted traditional Isalmic learning as well as the use of reason; the centrality of the Qur'an; the spiritual concerns of contemporary Muslims; political thought regarding secularity, statehood and governance; legal and ethical debates; related current issues like human rights, gender equality and religious plurality; as well as globalization, ecology and the environment, bioethics, and life sciences. An alternative account of Islam and the Muslim world today, counterbalancing narratives that emphasize politics and confrontations with the West, this book is an essential resource for students and scholars of Islam. --
