Description
Islam and the Plight of Modern Man Within the last decade, man in the industrialised countries has observed that what he has believed since the Renaissance to be the path of progress may indeed be a direct road to the destruction of his environment and even of himself. Dr. Nasr's book proposes nothing less than a complete solution to the resultant problems. He holds that Western science, by concentrating on an examination of the superficial, has lost touch with the truths and the traditions which inspired the great discoveries made in the Islamic world during the centuries of its supremacy. He attempts to show that the study of man himself has similarly deviated from the truth by ignoring his own essential nature. The author examines and expounds in detail the spiritual situation in his own country, Iran, as well as in the Arab world India and Pakistan, and shows how in these countries there is a profound struggle between the Islamic tradition and Western ideologies and philosophical currents such as Marxism, evolutionism and existentialism. He also criticises those Muslims who have already attempted to modify their religion in order to reconcile it with false and transient beliefs and ideas. He shows how the whole movement of modern Western philosophy can be reversed by a return to the inescapable Divine Truth embodied in the Qur'an. Price Rs. 240.00 in Pakistan only
