Product description
- What is the interpretation that Taha Abdul Rahman provided for Western modernity?
- What are the critical and constructive tools that he used in this interpretation of Western modernist thought?
- How did this critical vision form an entry point for establishing an authentic and creative alternative modernity that aligns with the Arab Islamic discursive field?
It can be said that Taha Abdul Rahman's interest in the topic of Western modernity, and his stance towards it, is truly one of the important projects in contemporary Arab Islamic culture, and an active contribution to re-establishing the achievements of Arab Islamic thought on new, independent foundations fundamentally separate from the Western intellectual and cultural environment. Rather, they originate from the Arab Islamic intellectual and cultural environment.
This goal that Taha Abdul Rahman aspires to is among the main motives that sparked my interest and was one of the direct incentives that pushed me to research this topic. The other remaining objective motives can be summarized in the following points:
- To understand deeply the interpretation that Taha Abdul Rahman offered for this new intellectual and cognitive framework, by highlighting his stance towards it, and examining the critical and constructive tools that the thinker employed in this serious interpretation.
- To understand the argumentative methods and inferential rules that Taha Abdul Rahman relied on in his critique of Western modernity, away from emotional descriptions and sectarian approaches.
- To recognize a rising and serious intellectual and philosophical approach of a reformist thinker in the field of contemporary Arab philosophy, in contrast to Arab and Islamic productions that have been overshadowed by tradition and imitation.
