Description
The Political Theory of Sayyid Qutb: A Genealogy of Discourse: Sayyid Qutb is one of the 20th centuryâs most controversial intellectuals and political figures in the Arab world. He is portrayed in totally different colors by his adversaries and followers alike. In his intellectual odyssey, he started off as a literary critic under Western cultural influences and ended up as a political thinker with Islamic credentials. He produced numerous books and articles that charted his discursive shifts. This work attempts to uncover Qutbâs art of political theorization embedded in his oeuvre. It applies Heideggerâs Dasein analysis coupled with Foucaultâs discourse and power analyses, in order to provide a careful reading of Qutbâs most famous Qurâanic commentary: In the Shades of the Qurâan. Although the current study times to reconstruct the context, structure, and dynamics of Qutbâs theatrical discourse during his Islamic turn, it cannot claim in the end to have exhausted all aspects of Sayyid Qutbâs rich thought.
