Abstract

Titled ‘The Dance of the Pen The Game of the Signifier Secular Imperialist Epistemology’, this book, written by the Egyptian Muslim thinker Abdul Wahab M. al-Messiri, consists of four independent essays on modernity, secularism, imperialism, and contemporary Western civilization between 1994 and 2006. Using a set of concepts to define modernity as a process in which “comprehensive secularism” was exported to the whole world and postmodernity as a sub- or super-stage of it, Messiri represents an original and pioneering effort to reunite the world with ultimate meaning and values.

Özet

‘Kalemin Dansı Göstergenin Oyunu Seküler Emperyalist Epistemoloji’ başlığını taşıyan ve Mısırlı Müslüman düşünür Abdülvahab M. el-Messiri tarafından kaleme alınan bu kitap, yazarın 1994-2006 yılları arasında modernite, sekülarizm, emperyalizm ve çağdaş Batı medeniyeti üzerine kaleme aldığı dört ayrı makalesinden oluşmaktadır. Geliştirdiği kavram setleriyle moderniteyi “kapsamlı sekülarizm”in bütün dünyaya ihraç edildiği bir süreç, postmoderniteyi ise onun bir alt ya da üst aşaması olarak tanımlayan Messiri, dünyanın nihai anlam ve değerlerle yeniden buluşturulmasına yönelik özgün ve öncü bir çabayı temsil etmektedir.
