Description
Résumé:The author illustrates the complex dynamics between secularization and modernization. While modernization, which brings with it a certain degree of political liberalism, provides channels for opposition, religious movements included (i.e., the Muslim Brotherhood), it also gives birth to "secular" ideologies (socialism, nationalism) that lead men like Nasir to see religion as inhibiting progress. In the case of Sadat, however, an effort was made to conceive of science and technology and faith as complementary inputs to development. He also delineates what appear to be contradictory policies which are carried out at the same time - perhaps because Egypt lies somewhere in the middle of the continuum of secularized countries in the area caught in between. (DÜI-Asd)
