In the light of current events, particularly the post September
11th' debates with much focus on aspects of the clash of
civilisation' thesis, the issue of Islamic identity is a crucial
one. Whilst Friedrich Nietzsche was addressing an audience of a
different culture and age, his own originality, creativity,
psychological, philological and historical insights allows for a
fresh and enlightening understanding of Islam within the context of
our modern era. In this book, Roy Jackson sets out to determine: *
Why did Nietzsche feel inclined to be so generous towards the
Islamic tradition yet so critical of Western Christianity? * How
important was religion for Nietzsche's views on such matters as
moral and political philosophy and how does this help us to
understand the Islamic response to modernity? * How does
Nietzsche's distinctive outlook and methodology help us to
understand such key Islamic paradigms as the Qur'an, the Prophet,
and the Rightly-Guided' Caliphs? Nietzsche and Islam provides an
original and fresh insight into Nietzsche's views on religion and
shows that his philosophy can make an important contribution to
what is considered to be Islam's key paradigms. As such it will be
of interest to a diverse readership and will provide useful
material for researchers when thinking about religion, Islam and
the future.
