Khaled el-Rouayheb, Islamic Intellectual History in the Seventeenth Century: Scholarly Currents in the Ottoman Empire and the Maghreb
In this ambitious and extensive project, Khaled el-Rouayheb aims to destroy
the historiographical biases that belittle the value of early modern intellectual
history in the Islamic world. Ironically, multiple perspectives have rendered derogatory verdicts on the legacy of the early modern period –perspectives that
have otherwise been extensively challenged in fields other than intellectual history.
