Buku ini membahas konstruk fundamentalisme Islam yang berkembang di Barat sebagaimana dalam pandangan-pandangan sarjana Barat kontemporer. Sebagian sarjana Barat mengasosiasikan fundamentalisme Islam sebagai kekerasan agama, terorisme, dan ancaman bagi Barat. Studi yang bersifat kritik atas konstruk fundamentalisme Islam menjadi krusial mengingat konstruk wacana fundamentalisme Islam saaat ini telah melampaui makna yang wajar karena dimaknai sebagai representasi kekerasan agama dan terorisme. Akhirnya, relasi yang timbul adalah Islam dan Muslim dinilai sebagai penebar teror dan menjadi ancaman potensial bagi Barat.

Karya ilmiah ini ingin memaparkan dialektika perwajahan Islam yang dibangun di bawah dialektika yang dahsyat antara orientalisme, post-orientalisme, dan oksidentalisme. Konstruk Islam dalam bingkai orientalisme telah meninggalkan guratan atau goresan negatif yang tidak sedikit dampak negatif yang ditinggalkannya. Sementara post-orientalisme ibarat sebuah gerakan kemanusiaan yang kembali mengoreksi dan menegakkan kembali eksistensi Islam sebagai sebuah ajaran dan peradaban sembari mengkritik dan menunjukkan kelemahan konstruk yang telah dibangun oleh pendahulunya; orientalisme. Pada saat yang bersamaan, kekuatan pengetahuan yang lain, yakni oksidentalisme, tampil mengkritik bukan hanya kekeliruan kajian orientalisme klasik, melainkan secara lebih tegas membeberkan sisi buruk dari Barat itu sendiri. Fenomena ini menjadi sebuah dialektika seru nan dahsyat dalam memoles perwajahan Islam.
In secular Europe the veracity of modern science is almost always taken for granted. Whether they think of the evolutionary proofs of Darwin or of spectacular investigation into the boundaries of physics conducted by CERN's Large Hadron Collider, most people assume that scientific enquiry goes to the heart of fundamental truths about the universe. Yet elsewhere, science is under siege. In the USA, Christian fundamentalists contest whether evolution should be taught in schools at all. And in Muslim countries like Tunisia, Egypt, Pakistan and Malaysia, a mere 15 per cent of those recently surveyed believed Darwin's theory to be 'true' or 'probably true'. This thoughtful and passionately argued...

Indonesia’s wealth of natural resources is being exploited at breakneck speed, and environmental awareness and knowledge among the populace is limited. This book examines how young people learn about the environment to see how education can help to develop environmental awareness and avert vast environmental destruction, not only in Indonesia, but also in the Global South more generally. Based on in-depth studies conducted in the cities of Yogyakarta and Surabaya, complemented with surveys of students in secondary schools, Environmental Education in Indonesia examines educational curricula, pedagogy and "green" activities to reveal what is currently being done in schools to educate childre...
In this book, Amr Osman seeks to expand and re-interpret what we know about the history and doctrine of the Ẓāhirī madhhab. Based on an extensive prosopographical survey, he concludes that the founder, Dāwūd al-Ẓāhirī, was closer in profile and doctrine to the Ahl al-Ra’y than to the Ahl al-Ḥadīth. Furthermore, Ibn Ḥazm al-Andalusī may have had a damaging effect on the madhhab, which never actually developed into a full-fledged school of law. By examining the meaning of ‘ẓāhir’ and modern scholarship on ‘literalism’, he challenges the view that Ẓāhirism was literalist, proposing ‘textualism’ as an accurate reflection of its premises, methodology, and goals as a hermeneutical and legal theory.
The rise and fall of the Islamic scientific tradition, and the relationship of Islamic science to European science during the Renaissance. The Islamic scientific tradition has been described many times in accounts of Islamic civilization and general histories of science, with most authors tracing its beginnings to the appropriation of ideas from other ancient civilizations—the Greeks in particular. In this thought-provoking and original book, George Saliba argues that, contrary to the generally accepted view, the foundations of Islamic scientific thought were laid well before Greek sources were formally translated into Arabic in the ninth century. Drawing on an account by the tenth-century...
