Abstract :In this ambitious and extensive project, Khaled el-Rouayheb aims to destroy the historiographical biases that belittle the value of early modern intellectual history in the Islamic world. Ironically, multiple perspectives have rendered derogatory verdicts on the legacy of the early modern period –perspectives that have otherwise been extensively challenged in fields other than intellectual history.
