Recent decades show that religion not only survived the 20th century, but also remains an important factor in political and social life around the world. The relevance of religion raises the question of the ratio of secular and religious in discursive practices that set the trajectory of the development of modern societies.
What could the anthropology of secularism look like? With this question, Talal Assad - an anthropologist of religion and a classic of post -colonial research - opens a work on the concepts and practices of secularism in the West and the Middle East. Being a unique mediator for the cultures of the East and West, Assad was one of the first to engage in the anthropology of Islam and proposed to consider it with the help of the concept of Islamic discursive tradition. Turning to the history of the reform of Sharia ships, the author offers an alternative view of the history of the secularization process in the Islamic world.
Assad’s criticism of the usual opposition of secular and religious makes you look at the secular as a concept that connects certain types of behavior, knowledge and emotionality of the modern world
