Combining a historical perspective that traces lines of continuity
and change in Arab liberalism, an integrative discussion of
cross-sectional themes, and a comparative analysis of the West,
Turkey and Iran, this book seeks to enrich our knowledge of liberal
thought in the Arab Middle East. In intertwining these
dimensions-the historic, integrative and comparative, Arab liberal
thought in the modern age responds to a tendency to overlook the
significance of Middle Eastern liberalism in favour of more
powerful and assertive forces embodied by authoritarian regimes and
Islamic movements. The study focuses on the second half of the
twentieth century and the early twenty-first century. Post-1967
liberals, as their predecessors, confronted old dilemmas,
socio-economic upheavals, political instability and cultural
disorientation, but also demonstrated ideological rejuvenation and
provided liberal thought with new emphases and visions. Arab
liberals' ongoing debates over freedom of religion, secularism,
individualism, democracy and human rights were aimed at formulating
of a comprehensive liberal project seeking to enact an Arab
Enlightenment. -- .
