Al-Jabri rejects what he calls the current polarization of Arab thought between an imported modernism that disregards Arab tradition and a fundamentalism that would reconstruct the present in the image of an idealized past.Both past and present intellectual currents are examined. Al-Jabri first questions the current philosophical positions of the liberals, the Marxists, and the fundamentalists. Then he turns to history, exploring Arab philosophy in the tenth and twelfth centuries, a time of political and ideological struggle. In the writings of Ibn Hazm and Averros, he identifies the beginnings of Arab rationalism, a rationalism he traces through the innovative fourteenth-century work of Ibn Khaldun.Al-Jabri offers both Western readers and his own compatriots a radical new approach to Arab thought, one that finds in the past the roots of an open, critical rationalism which he sees as emerging in the Arab world today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731414712608,"sku":"NEW0292704801","price":23.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81IvPtMxvFL.jpg?v=1779434035","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/arab-islamic-philosophy-a-contemporary-critique-cmes-middle-east-monograph-series-0292704801","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
