This concise overview of the perception of Islam in eight of the
most important German thinkers of the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries allows a new and fascinating investigation of how these
thinkers, within their own bodies of work, often espoused
contradicting ideas about Islam and their nearest Muslim neighbors.
Exploring a variety of 'neat compartmentalizations' at work in the
representations of Islam, as well as distinct vocabularies employed
by these key intellectuals (theological, political, philological,
poetic), Ian Almond parses these vocabularies to examine the
importance of Islam in the very history of German thought. Almond
further demonstrates the ways in which German philosophers such as
Hegel, Kant, and Marx repeatedly ignored information about the
Muslim world that did not harmonize with the particular landscapes
they were trying to paint ? a fact which in turn makes us reflect
on what it means when a society possesses 'knowledge' of a foreign
culture.
