Islam has become a potent political force around the world since it
reemerged in the late 1960's and 1970's as a religio-political
alternative to failed nationalist ideologies. In countries
throughout the world, individuals and movements have attempted to
reconstruct the political, economic, and social dimensions of their
societies along Islamic lines, taking different approaches to the
shari`a and to the questions of whether and how to establish an
Islamic state. Key Islamic Political Thinkers offers an examination
of some of the leading intellectuals behind the resurgence of
political Islam. The essays in this volume cover a selection of
thinkers that is representative of the main strands of contemporary
Muslim political thought. It starts with the forefathers of
contemporary political Islam, Hasan al-Banna and Abu al A`la
al-Mawdudi, analyzes the revolutionary ideas of Sayyid Qutb, Ali
Shari`ati, and Ayatollah Khomeini, and ends with the
"intellectuals" of political Islam, Hassan al-Turabi, Rashid
al-Ghannoushi, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, Muhammad Khatami, and Abdolkarim
Soroush, who exemplify the diversity and complexity of contemporary
Muslim political discourse. This volume provides a valuable guide
to the most important intellectual architects of the Islamic
revival.
