Averroes und die arabische Moderne
Ansätze zu einer Neubegründung des Rationalismus im Islam
Series:
Author:
Prominent Arab intellectuals of our century, Christian, Muslim, secularist and fundamentalist, consider the disregard for the rationalism of Averroes (Ibn Rušd, 1126-1198), who once stirred Europe with his commentaries on Aristotle, to be a major reason for the decay of Islamic culture. They criticize both Islamic reform movements and mere westernization and try with Ibn Rušd's help to spread critical, rational and realistic thinking, in order to place the Arabs on a cultural par with the West.
This volume analyzes for the first time the different philosophical and historical approaches and social aims of authors like FarahÌ£ Anṭūn, MuhÌ£ammad âAmmÄra, MuhÌ£ammad al-ǦÄbirÄ«, hÌ£asan hÌ£anafÄ« and tÌ£ayyib TÄ«zÄ«nÄ« within the framework of the Arabic reception of Ibn RuÅ¡d since the end of the 19th century.
This work was rewarded with the Ernst-Reuther-Preis for outstanding dissertations.

'L'auteur y a accompli un considérable travail d'inventaire et de dépouillement des parutions philosophiques de tout un siècle, et l'a accompagné d'une réflexion soutenue sur différentes oeuvres considérées...Averroes und die arabische Moderne fournit [...] une riche contribution à la connaissance de la culture arabe contemporaine, et mériterait d'être lu par des publics qui ne remarquent le plus souvent dans la pensée musulmane actuelle que ses protagonistes les plus rigides et intolérants.'
