Arabic Thought In The Liberal Age 1798 1939 by Albert Hourani
1798–1939
Surveying the Arab Nahda from Napoleon’s 1798 invasion to the eve of World War II, this work charts how Muslim and Christian intellectuals grappled with European thought and indigenous traditions to imagine reform in education, law, religion, and politics; it traces debates over reason and revelation, constitutionalism, secularism, and nationalism, the rise of the press and new publics, and the limits of liberal currents under imperial pressures and the formation of modern nation-states.
