ISBN:
Author: Albert Hourani
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Pages: 199 Binding: Paperback
Description from the publisher:
This collection of essays focuses on the relation between European and Islamic thought and culture from the late eighteenth to the twentieth century. The long first essay is concerned with the development of ideas about Islam in European thought and scholarship, showing in particular how the views of nineteenth-century thinkers and scholars reflected the dominant philosophical and historical ideas of their age. Subsequent chapters are devoted to individual writers who played an important part informing and communicating an image of Islamic history and civilization: Louis Massignon, H.A.R. Gibb, Marshall Hodgson and Jacques Berque, together with the scholar-soldier T.E. Lawrence. The final three essays look at the subject from the other side, and deal with some of the reactions of the Islamic world to the powerful new ideas of European civilization, including the first Arabic encyclopaedia and the first translation of Homer.
