Wahba is equally critical of religious fundamentalism and global capitalism, which for him are obstructions to secularization and democracy. While the three Abrahamic religions are examined when it comes to fundamentalism, Wahba deconstructs Islamic fundamentalism in particular and in the process reconstructs an Islamic humanism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIncluding a new preface by the author and translator, \u003ci\u003eFundamentalism and Secularism \u003c\/i\u003eprovides invaluable insights into how Middle Eastern philosophies open up new lines of thought in thinking through contemporary crises.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mourad Wahba\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350228729\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350228726\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.38d","brand":"Mourad Wahba","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079790293247,"sku":"9781350228726","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fc23abeb-ab86-4c43-a1cc-503d8b24d092.jpg?v=1685483157","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fundamentalism-and-secularization-mourad-wahba-9781350228726","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
