A journalist, political thinker and social activist from Aleppo, Syria, he was a sharp critic of both the scholarly and Sufi religious traditions, and of the autocratic Ottoman government of the day. Undeterred by persecution and arrest, he advocated returning to the model of the forefathers of Islam and was an overt supporter of liberty, an Arab Caliphate, and the separation of religion and state.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe first full-scale biography of Kawakibi in any European language, this work combines an account of his life with a fresh look at his writings, from the newspapers he founded in Aleppo to the books he published in Cairo. Drawing on memoirs of relatives and colleagues and on archival material, Itzchak Weismann demonstrates Kawakibi’s originality and assesses his impact on the evolution of Islamic political thought and the course of Arab nationalism during the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINTRODUCTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 THE MAKING OF A SYRIAN ISLAMIC INTELLECTUAL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePolitics and Society in Late Ottoman Aleppo\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Urban Religious Landscape\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFamily Background\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBetween Traditional and Modern Education\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2 EXPERIMENTS IN JOURNALISM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eOfficial and Private Editor\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Vocation of the Press\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Afflictions of the Ottoman System\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eNew Hopes for Aleppo\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCommunal Troubles\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3 A PROVINCIAL OTTOMAN NOTABLE’S CAREER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFacing the Hamidian Regime\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eA Man of His Class\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFor the Sake of the People\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eOvertures toward a Middle Class\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAn Exile in Egypt\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4 THE CRISIS OF THE MUSLIM WORLD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eKawakibi’s Oeuvre\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAn Islamic Conference in Mecca\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Degeneration of the Umma\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCritic of the Religious Tradition\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Failings of the Tanzimat\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5 A BLUEPRINT FOR REFORM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eModernist Salafi Reformation\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Model of the West\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAn Association for Muslim Edification\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAn Arab Caliphate\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6 AGAINST TYRANNY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eA Scientific Inquiry\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDefining Tyranny\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Politico-Religious Nexus\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eKnowledge and Public Service\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSocialism and Democracy\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eToward Progress\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e7 IN THE EYES OF POSTERITY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eA Middle-Class Family\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eA Mixed Legacy\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eA Final Assessment\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBibliography\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIndex\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oneworld Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49411792634199,"sku":"9781780747958","price":28.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781780747958.jpg?v=1730514698","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/abd-al-rahman-al-kawakibi-islamic-reform-and-arab-revival-9781780747958","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
