Series: - Numen Book Series, Volume: 162
Author:
In Muḥammad Ê¿Abduh and his Interlocutors: Conceptualizing Religion in a Globalizing World, Ammeke Kateman offers an account of Muḥammad Ê¿Abduhâs Islamic Reformism in a context in which ideas increasingly crossed familiar geographical, religious and cultural frontiers. Presenting an alternative to the inadequate perspective of âWesternizationâ, Kateman situates the ideas of Muḥammad Ê¿Abduh (Egypt, 1849-1905) on Islam and religion amongst those of his interlocutors within a global intellectual field.
Ammeke Katemanâs approach documents the surprising pluralism of Ê¿Abduhâs interlocutors, the diversity in their shared conceptualizations of religion and the creativity of Ê¿Abduhâs own interpretation. In this way, the conceptualizations of Ê¿Abduh and his contemporaries also shed light on the diversified global genealogy of the modern concept of religion.

With a background in History and Arabic, Ammeke Kateman obtained her Ph.D. at the department of Religious Studies at the University of Amsterdam in 2016. At that same university, she consequently conducted a research project on Arabic Muslim ḥajj-travelogues in an age of steam, print and empire (1880-1950), and she recently published âTellings of an Encounter: A Meeting between Muḥammad Ê¿Abduh, Herbert Spencer and Wilfrid Blunt (1903)â, Philological Encounters (2018).
