Modernity in Islamic Tradition : The Concept of 'Society' in the Journal al-Manar (Cairo, 1898-1940) PDF
by Florian Zemmin
Part of the Religion and Society series
Description
What does it mean to be modern? This study regards the concept of 'society' as foundational to modern self-understanding. Identifying Arabic conceptualizations of society in the journal al-Manar, the mouthpiece of Islamic reformism, the author shows how modernity was articulated from within an Islamic discursive tradition. The fact that the classical term umma was a principal term used to conceptualize modern society suggests the convergence of discursive traditions in modernity, rather than a mere diffusion of European concepts.
