Islam and the Choice of Liberalism

Islam and the Choice of Liberalism
Feb 23, 2015
Islam is a major constituent of liberalism and has been ever since the latter emerged as an ideology and a political order. However it is a constituent that had to be repudiated and disavowed as an “other” in order for liberalism’s self to emerge. This lecture shows the choice that liberalism as ideology and liberalism as political regimes speaking in its name offer and impose on Muslims.
