520 "During the two decades that preceded the 2011 revolutions
in Egypt and Syria, animated debates took place in Cairo
and Damascus on political and social goals for the future.
Egyptian and Syrian intellectuals argued over the meaning
of tanwir, Arabic for "enlightenment," and its
significance for contemporary politics. They took up
questions of human dignity, liberty, reason, tolerance,
civil society, democracy, and violence. In Enlightenment
on the Eve of Revolution, Elizabeth Suzanne Kassab offers
a groundbreaking analysis of the tanwir debates and their
import for the 2011 uprisings. Kassab locates these
debates in their local context as well as in broader
contemporary political and intellectual Arab history. She
argues that the enlightenment they advocated was a form of
political humanism that demanded the right of free and
public use of reason. By calling for the restoration of
human dignity and seeking a moral compass in the wake of
the destruction wrought by brutal regimes, they understood
tanwir as a humanist ideal. Kassab connects their debates
to the Arab uprisings, arguing that their demands bear a
striking resemblance to what was voiced on the streets of
Egypt and Syria in 2011. Enlightenment on the Eve of
Revolution is the first book to document these debates for
the Anglophone audience and to analyze their importance
for contemporary Egyptian and Syrian intellectual life and
politics. Elizabeth Suzanne Kassab is associate professor
of philosophy at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies.
She is the author of Contemporary Arab Thought: Cultural
Critique in Comparative Perspective (Columbia, 2009),
recipient of the prestigious Sheikh Zayed Book Award for
its Arabic edition."--|cProvided by publisher.
