POSSIBLE
PAPER TOPIC ELEVEN:
In The
Reconstruction
of Religious Thought in Islam, Iqbal tries mightily to reshape his
religion along new lines. Consider any chapter you like. Iqbal's
erudition
is formidable, of course. Explain the main lines of his argument in
your
chosen chapter. Do you find it compelling? If you wanted to argue
against
him, how would you frame your own argument, and what weak points in his
approach would you emphasize? Source: The Reconstruction of
Religious
Thought in Islam (1930) (London: Oxford University Press, 1934) on
BUTLER RESERVE. Also, the whole text, annotated by later editors, is
