Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. In The Problematics of Enlightenment: Human Reason, North African Philosophy, and the Global South , Mourad Wahba explores the relevance of the philosophy of the Enlightenment to contemporary issues in Egypt and the Global South more generally. Wahba provides a historical account of the reception of Enlightenment philosophical discourse in the Arabic-speaking world through the study of the work of Rifa?a al-Tahtawi, Muhammed Abdu, Farah Antun, Abbas Mahmoud al-?Aqqad, and Louis Awad. Wahba argues that the claim that human reason is the ultimate source of justificationtrumping the authority of inherited social institutions and the claims of historical revelationis a universalizable principle whose actualization would make progress possible in Egypt and elsewhere. This book, translated by Zeyad el Nabolsy, provides Anglophone readers access to a philosophy from the Global South that does not take the alleged Eurocentrism of Enlightenment philosophies as its central problematic. Moreover, Wahba is concerned with situating the problems that emerge in the context of contemporary Arabophone North African philosophy in the larger context of African philosophy, including engagement with the work of Senghor and Nkrumah. The Problematics of Enlightenment: Human Reason, North African Philosophy, and the Global South argues that the claim that human reasonnot inherited social institutionsis the ultimate source of justification is a universalizable principle whose actualization would make progress possible in Egypt and elsewhere in the Global South.
