Beskrivning

In this major contribution to Muslim intellectual history, Andrew Hammond offers a vital reappraisal of the role of Late Ottoman Turkish scholars in shaping modern Islamic thought. Focusing on a poet, a sheikh and his deputy, Hammond re-evaluates the lives and legacies of three key figures who chose exile in Egypt as radical secular forces seized power in republican Turkey: Mehmed Akif, Mustafa Sabri and Zahid Kevseri. Examining a period when these scholars faced the dual challenge of non-conformist trends in Islam and Western science and philosophy, Hammond argues that these men, alongside Said Nursi who remained in Turkey, were the last bearers of the Ottoman Islamic tradition. Utilising both Arabic and Turkish sources, he transcends disciplinary conventions that divide histories along ethnic, linguistic and national lines, highlighting continuities across geographies and eras. Through this lens, Hammond is able to observe the long-neglected but lasting impact that these Late Ottoman thinkers had upon Turkish and Arab Islamist ideology.

Recensioner i media

'With impressive language skills and theoretical perspectives, Hammond offers a much-needed correction to the historiography of modern Muslim intellectual history. By orienting our gaze to the linkages between the imperial Ottoman debates on reforming the Islamic tradition and the Egyptian intellectual circles of the interwar period, Hammond offers one of the most original insights on the roots of Cold War-era Islamist thought.' Cemil Aydin, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
