This book is a theory-informed, comparative and historical
exploration of the notion of the public sphere within Western and
Islamic traditions. It situates the emergence of the modern public
sphere in a wider historical and theoretical context than usually
done in conventional analyses. The work traces cross-cutting
genealogies spanning conventional borders between tradition and
modernity, and in particular between the Western and the Islamic
world. This approach unsettles received, evolutionary views of the
public sphere as an exclusive legacy of Western political cultures.
The public sphere is finally reconceived as a complex platform for
the modern cultivation of culturally diverse, competing, yet
intersecting discourses.
