"Irfan Ahmad makes the far-reaching argument that potent systems and modes for self-critique as well as critique of others are inherent in Islam--indeed, critique is integral to its fundamental tenets and practices. Challenging common views of Islam as hostile to critical thinking, Ahmad delineates thriving traditions of critique in Islamic culture, focusing in large part on South Asian traditions. Ahmad contemplates and interrogates Greek and Enlightenment notions of reason and critique, and he notes how they are invoked in relation to "others," including Muslims. Drafting an alternative genealogy of critique in Islam, Ahmad reads religious teachings and texts, drawing on sources in Hindi, Urdu, Farsi, and English, and demonstrates how they serve as expressions of critique. Throughout, he depicts Islam as an agent, not an object, of critique."-- Islamic philosophy Faith and reason Islam Critical thinking Criticism Reasoning https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/unibasch-ebooks/detail.action?docID=5153822 Uni Basel: Volltext BK020053 XK020053 XK020000 Ebook Central Perpetual and DDA E-Books von 360MarcUpdates IDSBB A145 A145 145VT NELA1451801 IDSBB 100 1- Ahmad Irfan 1974- author IDSBB 490 1- Islamic civilization and Muslim networks IDSBB 856 40 https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/unibasch-ebooks/detail.action?docID=5153822 Uni Basel: Volltext SWISSBIB 504708546
