Om forfatteren

Born in Tehran, Seyyed Hossein Nasr, the son of an educator, received a Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1958, after which he returned to Iran to teach and eventually to become a university chancellor. He was compelled to leave his native country after the revolution of 1979 and since then has vis mere taught in universities in the United States. Deeply influenced by the mystical Sufi tradition, Nasr is less concerned with reconciling the faith with modernism and is more concerned with presenting a traditionalist, though mystical, interpretation of religion that offers a way out of the contradictions of modernity. Through authentic spiritual experience, Nasr holds, one can penetrate the superficiality of modern scientific and other knowledge to find eternal truth. He is associated with the neotraditionalist school of philosophy. Undoubtedly, Nasr has had more general influence in the Western philosophical world than any other contemporary philosopher in the Islamic tradition. (Bowker Author Biography) vis mindre

I really like this book but, sadly, I have to downsize my library and it is a casualty. As I recall, it was quite an investment for me when I bought it. Nice book. Tries to redress the lack of knowledge in the west about Islamic Science and the debt owed by the western world to Islamic science. Three stars from me.

Este estudio breve de la vida del Bendito Profeta de Islam, para estudiantes de la escuela secundaria hacia arriba, ni es análisis histórico nuevo ni aun otro resumen biográfico puramente devoto de la carrera terrestre del último profeta de Dios. Esta biografí­a toma las dimensiones espirituales en más cuenta igual que los aspectos más fácticos e históricos de la vida de la persona que cambió la historia humana. -

Este es uno de los escritos más importantes del autor sobre el tema del encuentro y la interrelación entre el Islam y el modernismo. Dirigido de inmediato a musulmanes y occidentales, el autor trata en profundidad la crisis intelectual y espiritual del hombre moderno, así como los dilemas del musulmán contemporáneo frente al desafí­o abrumador del mundo moderno. Traza un camino para el entendimiento mutuo entre los musulmanes y los elementos tradicionales de la sociedad occidental, además de proporcionar, sobre la base de las doctrinas islámicas sapientales, criterios para juzgar varias facetas del modernismo. La situación del islam en el mundo musulmán contemporáneo se trata crí­ticamente y, en la posdata, el autor medita sobre el futuro del islam y el mundo islámico a la luz de los desafíos sin precedentes que el mundo moderno plantea para los musulmanes. -
This is one of the most important writings of the author on the subject of the encounter and interrelation between Islam and modernism. Addressed at once to Muslims and Westerners, the author deals in depth with the intellectual and spiritual crisis of modern man as well as the dilemmas of the contemporary Muslim faced with the daunting challenge of the modern world. He charters a path for mutual understanding between Muslims and traditional elements of Western society as well as providing, on the basis of Islamic sapiental doctrines, criteria for judging various facets of modernism. The situation of Islam in the contemporary Muslim world is treated critically and in the postscript the author meditates upon the future of Islam and the Islamic world in light of the unprecedented challenges which the modern world poses for Muslims.
