What does it mean to be modern? This study regards the concept of
'society' as foundational to modern self-understanding. Identifying
Arabic conceptualizations of society in the journal al-Manar, the
mouthpiece of Islamic reformism, the author shows how modernity was
articulated from within an Islamic discursive tradition. The fact
that the classical term umma was a principal term used to
conceptualize modern society suggests the convergence of discursive
traditions in modernity, rather than a mere diffusion of European
concepts.
