Islam the West and the Challenges to Modernity

Islam the West and the Challenges to Modernity attempts to demonstrate, using sources which draw upon thought and civilisation, that Muslims, nourished by their own points of reference, can approach the modern epoch by proposing a specific social, political and economic management that is linked to ethical values, a sense of finalities and spirituality. This still requires, however, that the Western interlocurs make a distiction between modernity and the ideology of modernism which tends to impose Westernisation. The latter, in its substance and other than in its well-intentioned discourse, does not admit the reality of the pluralism of civilisations, religions or cultures.

I'm still reading this book but so far it's really good. I'll have more to say once I finish it. This book can be found here
