As in his earlier \u003ci\u003eSelf-Criticism after the Defeat\u003c\/i\u003e, Al-Azm takes on the taboos of the age and their sponsors: the religious elites. In this book, he attempts to awaken the Arab mind from its dogmatic slumber, leading it out of the Middle Ages and into a modern world characterized by science and rationality. \u003ci\u003eCritique of Religious Thought\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the most controversial and influential books about the role of religion in Arab politics. This is the authorised translation of Sadik Al-Azm's work, \u003ci\u003eNaqd al-fikr ad-dini\u003c\/i\u003e, originally published in Arabic in 1969.
