Intellectual Creativity in a Time of Turmoil and Transition

Research output: Chapter in Book/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter traces the emergence of intellectuals as not only thinkers but also critics, cultural mediators, and shapers of discourse across the Islamic ecumene between the late 17th and late 19th centuries. Focusing on major polities of the day, it reveals a highly dynamic and interconnected world in which individuals and ideas moved freely. Whether for political reform, religious revival, or social critique, these intellectuals travelled unimpeded across national boundaries and contributed to what was a truly global discourse.
