Women
and Gender in Islam : Historical Roots of a Modern Debate
by Leila Ahmed (Paperback - August 1993)

Book
Description
The distinguished Moroccan philosopher
Mohammed Abed al-Jabri, in this summary of his own work, examines the status of Arab
thought in the late twentieth century. Al-Jabri rejects what he calls the current
polarization of Arab thought between an imported modernism that disregards Arab tradition
and a fundamentalism that would reconstruct the present in the image of an idealized past.
Both past and present intellectual
currents are examined. Al-Jabri first questions the current philosophical positions of the
liberals, the Marxists, and the fundamentalists. Then he turns to history, exploring Arab
philosophy in the tenth and twelfth centuries, a time of political and ideological
struggle. In the writings of Ibn Hazm and Averros, he identifies the beginnings of Arab
rationalism, a rationalism he traces through the innovative
fourteenth-century work of Ibn
Khaldun.
Al-Jabri offers both Western readers and
his own compatriots a radical new approach to Arab thought, one that finds in the past the
roots of an open, critical rationalism which he sees as emerging in the Arab world today.
Mohammed Abed al-Jabri, Professor of
Philosophy at Mohammed V University in Rabat, Morocco, is one of the major intellectual
figures in the contemporary Arab world. His early research on the epistemological origins
of Arab thought resulted in his major work, a trilogy: naqd al 'aql al 'arabi, published
in Beirut in 1982, 1986, and 1989.
Translator Aziz Abbassi, a native of
Morocco, is a writer and linguist currently living in the United States.
