By investigating the activities of diverse institutions, media, and personalities, the authors in this volume examine the liberal ideas and values that emerged during eras of both peace and political turmoil, while recognizing the factors contributing to their decline. Seen from these many perspectives, liberal thought developed not merely from “Westernization,” but from the interaction between indigenous intellectual critique and political ideology, political experiences and literary imagination, and a mixture of admiration for and resistance to European ideas and political domination.Social, economic, and political studies of the Middle East and Asia ;v. 104.LiberalismArab countriesArab nationalismCivilization, ArabWestern influencesMandatesArab countriesSecularismTurkeyArab countriesIntellectual lifeArab countriesPolitics and governmentLiberalismArab nationalism.Civilization, ArabWestern influences.MandatesSecularism320.510956/09041Schumann Christoph1524975MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792449203321Liberal thought in the Eastern Mediterranean3856495UNINA
