Modernity in Islamic Tradition Summary

Modernity in Islamic Tradition: The Concept of 'Society' in the Journal al-Manar (Cairo, 1898-1940) by Florian Zemmin

What does it mean to be modern? This study regards the concept of 'society' as foundational to modern self-understanding. Identifying Arabic conceptualizations of society in the journal al-Manar, the mouthpiece of Islamic reformism, the author shows how modernity was articulated from within an Islamic discursive tradition. The fact that the classical term umma was a principal term used to conceptualize modern society suggests the convergence of discursive traditions in modernity, rather than a mere diffusion of European concepts.
