Knowledge of Arabic
Comments
The reading course accompanies the seminar on "A Great Divergence?", but can also be taken independently of it. While the seminar discusses theoretical models and historical accounts of English-language scholarship, this course is dedicated to a famous Arab answer to the question of why Muslims seem to be lagging behind and Europeans are advanced. This answer was published by the Lebanese intellectual, politician and journalist Šakib Arslan in 1930 from his exile in Switzerland. In this course, we will translate Arslan's answer into German and draw on other texts if they are useful for opening up and understanding this prominent document of Arab intellectual and political history.
