Ahmad Moussalli redefines the bases and scope of modern Islamic thought, suggesting that Islamic fundamentalism might prove to be a liberating theology for the modern Islamic world. Basing his argument largely on Arabic documents, he analyses the basic concerns of fundamentalism - epistemology, knowledge, philosophy, modernity, and science as well as politics, political philosophy, and political economy.
