Breve historia de la literatura árabe contemporánea
Esta es una historia de la literatura árabe que comienza en Egipto y la región sirio-libanesa en las postrimerías del siglo XIX, alimentada por el encuentro con Occidente, pero sobre todo por una acusada tendencia interna hacia la modernización del pensamiento y las costumbres. Esta es, por mejor decir, una historia de las literaturas árabes, así en plural, porque cada país alberga su propia producción literaria, reflejo de una particular trayectoria política y social dentro de un mundo en continua y vertiginosa evolución. El periodo que se estudia comprende desde el siglo XIX (conocido como la Nahḍ ah, o renacimiento) hasta la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Al margen de criterios e...

Neo-Muʿtazilismus?
This book examines the modern Arab rediscovery of the Muʿtazila through a critical assessment of the concept of "Neo-Muʿtazilism" and by concentrating on the various intentions and contexts of the use of Muʿtazilite ideas. The main part of the book analyzes five ways of understanding Mu'tazilite ideas — liberal, historic-materialist, political-Islamic, literary-exegetical and through comparison with the philosophie des valeurs — as well as one way of dealing with the school historically: the treatment of the miḥna. The book discusses a wide range of authors of whom many, such as Aḥmad Amīn, Ḥusain Murūwa, Ḥasan Ḥanafī, Muḥammad ʿAmāra, Naṣr Abū Zaid und Muḥammad ʿĀbid al-Ğābirī, have had an important impact on modern Arab-Islamic thought. By also presenting authors such as Zuhdī Ğārallāh, Chikh Bouamrane, Rašīd al-Ḫayyūn, Amīn Nāyif Ḏiyāb, Samīḥ Duġaim, ʿĀdil al-ʿAwwā und Fahmī Ğadʿān, additional light is shed on a number of lesser known figures.

The Miraculous Language of the Qur'an: Evidence of Divine Origin
This study illustrates why the language of the Qur'an is miraculous, unique, and evidence of divine authority. The author compares the language of the Qur'an with the language of pre-Islamic poetry, the Prophet's words (hadith), and the language of the Arabs both past and present, to demonstrate that although the Qur'an was revealed in Arabic it was at the same time an Arabic which was entirely new. Original and early Muslim audiences viewed this as miraculous and responded to the Qur'an's words, sounds, rhythms, etc. in a manner consistent with a deeper appreciation of its beauty and majesty which modern ears, trained by familiarity, and despite being surrounded by all manner of dictionarie...
