系列：悬念：当代中东和伊斯兰思想
在《原教旨主义和世俗化》一书中，埃及哲学家穆拉德·瓦赫巴将原教旨主义和世俗化的历史渊源追溯为思想和实践，以便从理论上解释它们的共生关系，以及全球资本主义和最近的后现代主义对其的影响。
这为伊斯兰世界内部的一个论点提供了声音，这个论点与主流中的既定纲领非常不同，表明原教旨主义不是正常地、自然地从伊斯兰教中产生的，而是一个复杂的现象，与独立国家的现代化和资本主义发展有关，也就是说，与帝国主义有关。
瓦哈巴的核心论点涉及原教旨主义和寄生资本主义之间的有机关系。瓦哈巴同样批评宗教原教旨主义和全球资本主义，对他来说，这是世俗化和民主化的障碍。当谈到原教旨主义时，三种亚伯拉罕宗教都会受到审视，而瓦哈巴则特别解构了伊斯兰原教旨主义，并在这个过程中重建了伊斯兰人道主义。
原教旨主义和世俗主义包括作者和翻译家的新序言，为中东哲学如何在当代危机中开辟新思路提供了宝贵的见解。
Fundamentalism and Secularization
Series: Suspensions: Contemporary Middle Eastern and Islamicate Thought
In Fundamentalism and Secularization, Egyptian philosopher Mourad Wahba traces the historical origins of fundamentalism and secularization as ideas and practices in order to theorize their symbiotic relationship, and how it is impacted by global capitalism and, more recently, postmodernism.
This gives voice to an argument from within the Islamic world that is very different to that given platform in the mainstream, showing that fundamentalism does not arise normally and naturally from Islam but is a complex phenomenon linked to modernization and the development of capitalism in dependent countries, that is, tied to imperialism.
Wahba’s central argument concerns the organic relationship between fundamentalism and parasitic capitalism. Wahba is equally critical of religious fundamentalism and global capitalism, which for him are obstructions to secularization and democracy. While the three Abrahamic religions are examined when it comes to fundamentalism, Wahba deconstructs Islamic fundamentalism in particular and in the process reconstructs an Islamic humanism.
Including a new preface by the author and translator, Fundamentalism and Secularism provides invaluable insights into how Middle Eastern philosophies open up new lines of thought in thinking through contemporary crises.
