The relationship between religion and state in Muslim-majority contexts has been a central political issue in recent decades but especially since the Arab uprisings, the attendant contest over the place of the sharia in constitutional frameworks and the rise of ISIS. This book is a theoretically and historically informed exploration of the 'secular' and 'secularism' in Muslim contexts. It does this through a critical assessment of an influential tradition of thinking about Islam and the secular derived mainly from the work of the anthropologist Talal Asad and his followers. The study employs the tools of comparative historical sociology and the sociology of knowledge to engage with the assumptions of Asadian theory. The author argues against culturalist and nativist assertions drawn from the experience of Western modernity and provides a qualified defense of secularism.
