INTELLECTUALS IN THE MODERN ISLAMIC WORLD
Transmission, transformation, communication
Edited by Stéphane A. Dudoignon, Komatsu Hisao, and Kosugi Yasushi
INTELLECTUALS IN THE MODERN ISLAMIC WORLD
This book reconsiders the typology and history of intellectuals in the Islamic world in the modern and contemporary periods from the late nineteenth century to the present day.
Intellectual in the Modern Islamic World distinguishes itself from other major studies on modern thought in Islam by examining this topic beyond the context of the Arabic world.
The first section of this book concentrates on a journal, al-Manar, published between 1898 and 1935, and read by a wide range of audiences throughout the Islamic world, which inspired the imagination and arguments of local intellectuals in the first half of the twentieth century.
The second part concentrates on the formation, transmission, and transformation of learning and authority, from the Middle East to Central and South Asia, through the twentieth century.
Providing a rich variety of case studies, by international authors of the most varied disciplinary scope, Intellectuals in the Modern Islamic World meets the highest academic requirements in a spirit of comparative vision and openness to the dynamism of contemporary societies of the Islamic world.
As such, this book is essential reading for those with research interests in Islam and intellectual thought.
