The presentation will substantiate this broader hypothesis by briefly examining the early phase of this process, in particular the relationship among scholars such as Ignaz Goldziher, C.H. Becker and Thomas W. Arnold, on the one hand, and Islamic reformers such as Jamal ad-Din al-Afghani, Muhammad Abduh or Muhammad Iqbal on the other.
Dr. Dietrich Jung is professor at the Centre for Contemporary Middle East Studies of the University of Southern Denmark. His main fields of research comprise theories of world society, historical political sociology, modernization processes in the Muslim world, the relationship of religion and politics, as well as state formation, war and conflict in the Middle East.
