Anotace knihy

This work argues that the "clash of civilizations" that is thought to be a feature of the post-Cold War environment is not necessarily caused by the dogma of world religions or cultural incompatibilities but by the inflexible and hegemonic universalisms that have characterized world history since 1492. The all-encompassing worldviews of Euro-American ideologies have resulted in the retreat of Islam and other non-European traditions into dangerous orthodoxies and a growing climate of suspicion, fear, and terror. "Freedom and Orthodoxy" offers an alternative to perennial discord, suggesting that the world needs a philosophy of the "provincial", one that reattaches individuals and societies to their heritages and memories but connects them to the rest of the world in solid, non-alienating, meaningful ways. For this to happen, Majid contends, globalization must be thought of as a network of human solidarities and rigorous conversations across the world's multiple cultures, not as a mechanical process of economic expansionism.
