Authentic Islamic thought is dying, or so argues Chittick in this profound
new book. With academic courses either encouraging commercialism, or
cultivating zealots, Chittick states that it is impossible to understand classical
Islamic texts without the years of contemplative study that are anathema to
the modern education system.
Insisting upon a return to the ways of the ancient wisdom tradition, which
saw the quest for knowledge of the soul, the world, and God as a unifying
spiritual discipline, Chittick maintains that the study of Islamic texts cannot
be treated separately from self-understanding. Fascinating, radical, and a
true challenge to modern trends in academic study, this book opens a new
debate in Islamic thought.
