INTS 225 - Islam in Transition 19th & 20th Century

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

This course is a historical examination of changes in Islamic thought and practice in the 19th and 20th centuries. We begin with an Islamic principle which declares that Islam is suited for all times and places, provided one arrives at the proper interpretation. The 19th and 20th centuries were particularly difficult times for many of the major centers of Islamic intellectual activity. These difficulties manifested themselves in a reexamination of what Islam meant, what it meant to be a Muslim, what Islam's role was in bringing about the situation in which Muslims found themselves and what its role could be in ameliorating their social, political and economic condition. Readings will include translations of primary sources. No prior knowledge of Islam is required. 1.00 units, Lecture
