Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le capitalisme est partout. Il s'est imposé comme mode dominant, voire exclusif et comme modèle culturel. S'il a su apporter un progrès indéniable, il n'a, en revanche, pas été capable de le mettre au service de tous. C'est ainsi que le système économique de l'Islam tend à démontrer qu'une alternative existe, qu'elle est nécessaire et envisageable.
Download or read book Islam Between Culture and Politics written by B. Tibi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2001-11-07 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bassam Tibi offers a radical solution to the problems faced by Islam in a rapidly changing and globalizing world. He proposes a depoliticization of the faith and the introduction of reforms to embrace secular democracy, pluralism, civil society and individual human rights. The alternative to this is the impasse of fundamentalism. The pivotal argument is that Islam is being torn between the pressure for cultural innovation and a defensive move towards the politicization of its symbols for non-religious ends.
Download or read book Islam and Power RLE Politics of Islam written by Alexander Cudsi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-24 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1970s witnessed a mushrooming of Islamic movements and ideas which was described variously as Islamic revival, Islamic resurgence and Islam on the march. Whether as part of the majority or minority, whether under capitalist or socialist regimes, Muslims have been moved by this reawakening. But what really are the causes and nature of this Islamic resurgence? Is it a purely religious revival? Or is it a social and political movement that must be understood in the context of the Muslim’s conditions and milieu? Will it really lead to the establishment of an Islamic socio-political order or will it end up as an instrument of struggle between Muslim ruling elites and their opposition? And what are the foreign policy implications of these developments? Do they necessarily lead to a more militant and hostile attitude towards the West? These questions and more are tackled by the contributors to Islam and Power. First published in 1981.

Download or read book Le Capitalisme l Islam et le socialisme written by Khaled Ridha and published by Editions Publibook. This book was released on 2014-02-21 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "En fait, la rencontre avec le monde moderne s'est souvent accompagnée d'une redécouverte de l'héritage culturel, et la soif de progrès s'est souvent doublée d'une quête de l'authenticité. Dans les deux cas, cela ne s'est que rarement fait avec une clairvoyance et une conscience capables de saisir les différences conceptuelles et contextuelles. Au lieu d'analyser la situation concrète et de tenir compte du changement de contexte, ce sont les concepts et les institutions du passé qui prirent les habits du jour. Des définitions erronées et des synonymes aberrants devinrent monnaie courante. Des livres décrivant la démocratie de l'Islam foisonnèrent, d'autres abordèrent le thème de son capitalisme ou de son socialisme ! C'est cet imbroglio qui nous a incités à entamer cette étude, afin de cerner les types de rapports possibles entre le capitalisme, le socialisme et l'Islam". Dans le triangle que forment les trois termes clés de cet essai se nouent des tensions entre la tradition et le progrès, le social et le religieux, le collectif et l'individuel, les lectures et interprétations des textes sacrés... Tout autant que s'y révèlent des enjeux identitaires ou encore des prises de position vis-à-vis de l'Occident. Et c'est avec une faculté d'analyse, d'explication et de synthèse rare et précieuse que K Ridha met à jour ces problématiques et qu'il sonde les diverses postures musulmanes face à ces deux grands modèles socio-économiques. Essayiste des nuances, aux exposés toujours riches et accessibles, aux analyses aussi précises que limpides, l'auteur n'oublie pourtant pas de livrer dans le même temps un texte critique et résolument ancré aux soubresauts d'un monde arabo-musulman qui se cherche.

Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Global Islam and Consumer Culture is an outstanding inter- and transdisciplinary reference source to key topics, problems, and debates in this challenging research field.

Contributions present selected case studies from countries across the world, including China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Morocco, Nigeria, Qatar, Pakistan, and Turkey. The handbook is essential reading for students and researchers in Islamic studies, Near and Middle Eastern studies, religious studies, and cultural studies.

Download or read book Islam s Predicament with Modernity written by Bassam Tibi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-02-25 with total page 848 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Islam's Predicament with Modernity presents an in-depth cultural and political analysis of the issue of political Islam as a potential source of tensions and conflict, and how this might be peacefully resolved. Looking at the issue of modernity from an Islamic point of view, the author examines the role of culture and religion in Muslim society under conditions of globalisation, and analyses issues such as law, knowledge and human rights. He engages a number of significant studies on political Islam and draws on detailed case studies, rejecting the approaches of both Orientalists and apologists and calling instead for a genuine Islamic pluralism that accepts the equality of others. Situating modernity as a Western product at the crux of his argument, he argues that a separation of religion and politics is required, which presents a challenge to the Islamic worldview. This critical analysis of value conflicts, tensions and change in the Islamic world will be of interest to scholars and advanced students of international relations, social theory, political science, religion, Islamic studies and Middle Eastern studies.
Download or read book Religion and Modern Society written by Bryan S. Turner and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-31 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion is now high on the public agenda, with recent events focusing the world's attention on Islam in particular. This book provides a unique historical and comparative analysis of the place of religion in the emergence of modern secular society. Bryan S. Turner considers the problems of multicultural, multi-faith societies and legal pluralism in terms of citizenship and the state, with special emphasis on the problems of defining religion and the sacred in the secularisation debate. He explores a range of issues central to current debates: the secularisation thesis itself, the communications revolution, the rise of youth spirituality, feminism, piety and religious revival. Religion and Modern Society contributes to political and ethical controversies through discussions of cosmopolitanism, religion and globalisation. It concludes with a pessimistic analysis of the erosion of the social in modern society and the inability of new religions to provide 'social repair'.
