In the light of Said Nursi: Turkish nationalism and the religious alternative

 12.00

Description

PREFACE

Religion is not a human failing that was born in ignorance and that is
dying in knowledge – Callum G. Brown

This is a study of a Turkish Islamic movement, the Nur
movement, and its founder, Said Nursi (1873-1960), who
opposed the very principles of the Turkish Republic. A
study of Said Nursi and his movement is important both
because of its great influence on the Turkish society and
because such a study can provide empirical material for the
general discussion of nationalism, secularism and modernity.
