The Islamic enlightenment: the struggle between faith and reason, 1798 to modern times
Par Christopher De Bellaigue. 2017
This absorbing account of the political and social reformations that transformed the lands of Islam during the nineteenth and early…
twentieth centuries offers a game-changing assessment of the Middle East. Beginning his account in 1798, de Bellaigue demonstrates how the Middle East has long welcomed modern ideals and practices, including the adoption of modern medicine, the emergence of women from seclusion, and the development of democracy.

This revolutionary argument, which completely refutes the misconception that Muslims live in a benighted state of backwardness, reveals the folly of Westerners demanding modernity from their Islamic neighbors. 2017.La sorcellerie au Québec, du XVIIe au XIXe siècle ((Connaissance).)
