Islamist discourse versus postmodernity
Author(s):
Abstract:
The emergence of postmodernism is the symptom of a crisis, i.e. a crisis of meaning, in modernism. Though, today, to ecounter this crisis modernism has metamorphosed from a truth-based doctrine founded on the sameness of reason and knowledge to an anti-doctrine denying the existence of any truth within the domain of philosophy and knowledge, this metamorphosed modernism, too, cannot have a dialog with Islam. According to the writer, the meaning crisis, still present in modernism, leands man to meaninglessness. Futhermore, any dialog between Islam and postmodernism, too, is contradictory in nature since it would be a dialog between a transcendental truth-based doctrine and an anti-doctrine denying any universal and transcendental truth. Hence, Islamic thought should both cosider the downfall of the Enlightenment reason and propose, without falling into the well of postmodernism, a peaceful view of man to reaffirm its obligation to the moral unity of man.
