Islam between Religion and Culture: A Dialectical Approach

 

🔍 About the Book

Drawing on Terry Eagleton’s dialectical approach, the study argues that culture and belief are inseparable building blocks of the human subject, influencing actions, attitudes, and social interactions. The research also situates Islam within cultural practices, exploring how religious creeds interact with social norms in Moroccan society.

🧠 Research Approach

• The study adopts a quantitative methodology, surveying students at the School of Arts and Humanities, Moulay Ismail University, Meknes.

• This population represents a segment of educated Moroccan youth, offering insight into broader societal attitudes.

• By consulting a wide range of books, articles, and journals, the book presents a multiperspectival analysis of culture and religion.

💡 Key Findings

• Students perceive Islam through a dialectical lens, linking cultural practices with religious beliefs.

• Culture and religion are mutually constitutive, meaning one cannot be fully understood without considering the other.

• The book provides new perspectives on how Moroccan educated youth interpret faith in daily life, contributing to debates on religion, culture, and modernity.
