Religion as Critique

Více o knize

The book presents a compelling argument that self-critique and critique of others are fundamental to Islam, countering the perception of the religion as anti-critical. Ahmad explores rich traditions of critique within Islamic culture, particularly in South Asia, and challenges Western notions of reason and critique as they relate to Muslims. By analyzing religious texts in multiple languages, he showcases how these teachings embody critical thought, positioning Islam as an active participant in the discourse of critique rather than a passive subject.
