Through six historical and thematic case studies the chapters examine the historical evolution of multiple modernities within Islam. The book argues that we can observe the rise and spread of a relatively hegemonic idea according to which the relation to Islamic traditions bestows projects of Muslim modernities with cultural authenticity. At the same time, it provides an interpretation of this specifically Islamic discourse of modernity as an inherent part of global modernity in conceptual terms understood as the emergence of world society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dietrich Jung\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474492649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474492645\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Dietrich Jung","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46024866169087,"sku":"9781474492645","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6d53cf5b-133a-4db6-9956-206c7b9436d2.jpg?v=1723129406","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/islamic-modernities-in-world-society-dietrich-jung-9781474492645","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
