Muhammad Asad between Religion and Politics
Journal Title: insan & toplum - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
In April 2011 an international symposium was held in Riyadh, under the auspices of the King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies as well as the Austrian Embassy to Saudi Arabia, on the life and work of my father. The conference as a whole was entitled “Muhammad Asad – A Life for Dialogue,” but I was asked by the organizers to write something on “Muhammad Asad Between Religion and Politics.” Unfortunately I was unable to attend the symposium so I sent in my contribution to be read out by someone else at the meeting. What follows is an edited and elaborated version of what I sent.
