Indonesia has been home to some of the most vibrant and complex
developments in modern Islamic thought anywhere in the world.
Nevertheless little is known or understood about these developments
outside South East Asia. By considering the work of the leading
Indonesian thinkers of the twentieth century, Michael Feener, an
intellectual authority in the area, offers a cogent critique of
this diverse and extensive literature and sheds light on the
contemporary debates and the dynamics of Islamic reform. The book
highlights the openness to, and creative manipulation of, diverse
strands of international thought that have come to define Islamic
intellectualism in modern Indonesia. This is an accessible and
interpretive overview of the religious and social thought of the
world's largest Muslim majority nation. As such it will be read by
scholars of Islamic law and society, South East Asian studies and
comparative law and jurisprudence.
