From
Khaled El-Rouayheb is writing a monograph on intellectual currents in the Arabic-Islamic world in the seventeenth century.While modern scholars have tended to assume that it was marked by intellectual stagnation, he will try to show that pre-'revivalist' Islamic intellectual life was much more dynamic and sophisticated than most historians have suspected.
