Uriya Shavit

Scientific and Political Freedom in Islam (eBook, ePUB)

A Critical Reading of the Modernist-Apologetic School

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book critically explores the modernist-apologetic Islamic approach to the relation between revelation and science and politics which, for over a century, has been a central part of Arab discourses on the future of Muslim societies. The main thesis of the book is that the modernist-apologetic approach has great potential to be a force for liberalization, but also possesses inherent limitations that render its theory on the relation between revelation and freedom self-contradictory.
