Islam and the West
"Islam and the West" is a collection of essays on the relationship
between the West and Islam since the Medieval era, the point at which
the West first became dominant, and the continuing response from the
Islamic world. |
|
The Political Language of Islam
Islam is trans-national but claims Arabic as its common language. In
"The Political Language of Islam," Lewis considers how Arabic has
shaped Muslim thought and the differences in how Western and Muslim thinkers construct reality
because of deep differences in how they understand supposedly simple
philisophical and political ideas, |

What Went Wrong? Western Impact and Middle
Eastern Response
Islam was one of the most important agents of civilization in the
post-Roman world, but during the late Middle Ages, Western
civilization began to grow and flourish while Islamic civilization went into decline and
retreat. In this book Lewis discusses why the change occurred and how
it has affected relations between the West and Islam to this day. |
