author | Insight Turkey https://www.insightturkey.com/ author EN authorMuslims in Modern Turkey: Kemalism, Modernism and the Revolt of the Islamic Intellectuals presents a comprehensive overview of contemporary Turkish intellectuals’ thoughts on Kemalist ideology. With a selection of six intellectuals, the first chapter gives an overview of the Kemalist ideology and its sociocultural impact on both the private and public spheres in the newly-formed Turkish state. In the second, third and fourth chapters, more details are given about the lives and thoughts of the selected intellectuals, followed by a comparison with their counterparts in the Arab/Muslim world and the old Islamic intellectuals in Turkey. Overall, the book compiles the views of Islamic intellectuals regarding the secularization process in Turkey since the conception of the state; however, the book has weaknesses that prevent the ignition of the reader’s curiosity and leaves one wondering what the author intended to contribute to existing literature.https://www.insightturkey.com/author/shaimaa-magued/muslims-in-modern-turkey-kemalism-modernism-and-the-revolt-of-the-islamic-intellectualshttps://www.insightturkey.com/author/shaimaa-magued/muslims-in-modern-turkey-kemalism-modernism-and-the-revolt-of-the-islamic-intellectualsWed, 01 Oct 2014 12:17:00 GMT
