ISLAM WITHOUT EXTREMES: THE MUSLIM CASE FOR LIBERTY
Book ID/图书代码： 03830511B47813
English Summary/英文概要： Islam without Extremes presents a provocative manifesto for an interpretation of Islam that synthesises liberal ideas and respect for the Islamic tradition. With an eye sympathetic to Western liberalism and Islamic theology, Mustafa Akyol traces the roots of political Islam. The years following the death of Muhammad saw an intellectual "war of ideas" rage between rationalist, flexible schools of Islam and the more dogmatic, rigid ones. The traditionalists won, fostering perceptions of Islam as antithetical to modernity. However, Akyol traces a flourishing of liberalism in the nineteenth-century Ottoman Empire and explores the unique "Islamo-liberal synthesis" of present-day Turkey. Only by accepting a secular state, he asserts, can Islamic societies thrive. Persuasive and inspiring, Islam without Extremes offers an intellectual basis for the reconcilability of Islam and religious, political, economic and social freedoms.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《远离极端主义的伊斯兰世界》向我们展示了一篇振奋且发人深思的宣言---它将伊斯兰主义解读为接纳自由思想同时又尊重传统的主义。穆斯塔法•安卡拉同情西方的自由主义和伊斯兰神学，他一直致力于探寻政治伊斯兰的根源。随着穆罕穆德逝世，唯理论者，伊斯兰变通派以及为数众多的固执己见的强硬派之间的“信念之战”大肆而起。传统主义者大获全胜，却也从而助长了其使伊斯兰世界与现代社会完全对立的观念。然而本书中安卡拉追溯了土耳其帝国在19世纪追求自由的繁盛时期，并由此探寻今天土耳其的“伊斯兰自由组织”。他宣称伊斯兰社会唯有接受世俗世界才能存活。《远离极端主义的伊斯兰世界》以令人信服，发人深醒的口吻，向伊斯兰社会提出了睿智的建议，如果他们渴望获得宗教，政治，经济和社会的和谐与自由。(DC)
