Taha an extraordinary renovator of Islamic thinking,
By Zidoc "Zee" (Washington DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Quest for Divinity: A Critical Examination of the Thought of Mahmud Muhammad Taha (Modern Intellectual and Political History of the Middle East) (Hardcover)
This is an excellent, well written, and well document book about a leading though largely ignored in the West, modern Arab thinker in Islam. The book's title captures Mahmoud Taha's quest for the absolute. Though his writings reflect a high level of thought it nonetheless is firmly rooted in everyday's reality. His balance between mystic and pragmatic an political thought makes him unique among modern thinkers.The author, M. Mahmoud has dug very deep in Taha's writings and provides a critical balance between an account of such thinking and an evaluation of Taha's thought. His vast knowledge of Islamic thought is a major asset in tracing back the various influences that have affected or impacted Taha's thought. I believe this book is a must to have and read for anyone interested in the lively debates in modern Islamic thought. |
