By examining Khan's work as a critical expression of modernity rooted in the Muslim experience of it, \u003ci\u003eIslam as Critique \u003c\/i\u003eargues that Khan is essential to understanding the problematics of modern Islam and its relationship to the West. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The book re-imagines Islam as an interpretive strategy for investigating the modern condition, and as an engaged alternative to mainstream Western thought. Using the life and work of 19th century Indian Muslim polymath Khan (1817-1898), it identifies Muslims as a viable resource for both critical intervention in important ethical debates of our times and as legitimate participants in humanistic discourses that underpin a just global order. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIslam as Critique \u003c\/i\u003elocates Khan within a broader strain in modern Islamic thought that is neither a rejection of the West, nor a wholesale acceptance of it. The author calls this \"Critical Islam+?. By bringing Khan's critical engagement with modernity into conversation with similar critical analyses of the modern by Reinhold Niebuhr, Hannah Arendt, and Alasdair MacIntyre, the author shows how Islam can be read as critique.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Khurram Hussain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350006335\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350006331\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Khurram Hussain","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44450115813631,"sku":"9781350006331","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f6162032-83c6-41bd-be8d-b3f140ecfe0c.jpg?v=1698502861","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/islam-as-critique-khurram-hussain-9781350006331","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
