| Summary, etc. | Islam: To Reform or to Subvert? by Mohammed Arkoun is a critical and thought-provoking examination of contemporary Islamic thought and its encounter with modernity. Arkoun, a noted Algerian-French scholar of Islamic studies, analyzes the historical development of Islamic traditions and argues for the need to approach Islam with fresh intellectual tools, beyond rigid dogmas and political exploitation.<br/><br/>The book highlights how Islamic discourse has often been shaped by authoritarian interpretations and how both internal conservatism and external pressures (colonialism, modern geopolitics) have influenced its trajectory. Arkoun emphasizes the importance of rethinking Islamic concepts—faith, reason, law, and culture—through critical historical and philosophical analysis. |
