Far from a mere cultural critique, this work explores the profound psychological and spiritual consequences that follow when the intellect is detached from its moral and metaphysical foundations. The book navigates the tension between modernity and tradition, arguing that the abandonment of the Quranic framework for reason has led to an \"intellectual vacuum.\" Crucially, this book brings into sharp focus the Ankara School's ambitious efforts to restore vitality to Islamic thought. By engaging deeply with the contributions of prominent scholars such as Yaşar Nuri Öztürk and Bayraktar Bayraklı, the text highlights their dedication to purifying the faith from centuries of dogma and reclaiming the Quran as the primary, liberating source of intellectual life. This book serves as a clarion call for a comprehensive intellectual revival of Islamic Thought, urging readers to move beyond reactionary responses in favour of reclaiming proactive, principle-based thought. It emphasises the urgent need for a reintegration of wisdom and reason, illustrating how the Quranic paradigm can once again serve as both the map and the compass for the human mind. Furthermore, the work offers a vital historical synthesis by evaluating the legacy of the Ankara School as a necessary step toward overcoming modern intellectual stagnation. Ultimately, it provides a clear path forward, outlining practical strategies for navigating the complexities of the 21st century without sacrificing one's moral and intellectual integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Centre for Ottoman Renaissance and Civilisati","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47883364237463,"sku":"9780646738406","price":2394.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780646738406.webp?v=1781101429","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-crisis-of-intellect-and-the-erosion-of-quranic-guidance-a-diachronic-study-of-intellectual-transformation-in-islamic-thought-9780646738406","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
