What is the relationship between thought and practice in the
domains of language, literature and politics? Is thought the only
standard by which to measure intellectual history? How did Arab
intellectuals change and affect political, social, cultural and
economic developments from the eighteenth to the twentieth
centuries? This volume offers a fundamental overhaul and revival of
modern Arab intellectual history. Using Hourani's Arabic Thought in
the Liberal Age, 1798-1939 (Cambridge, 1962) as a starting point,
it reassesses Arabic cultural production and political thought in
the light of current scholarship and extends the analysis beyond
Napoleon's invasion of Egypt and the outbreak of World War II. The
chapters offer a mixture of broad-stroke history on the
construction of 'the Muslim world', and the emergence of the rule
of law and constitutionalism in the Ottoman empire, as well as case
studies on individual Arab intellectuals that illuminate the
transformation of modern Arabic thought.
