My concerns in this essay are to raise several critical questions about these implications, especially in relation to the contemporary Muslim world; offer some critical remarks on the state of contemporary Islamic thought; and suggest ways to grapple with the subtle and deep epistemological, ethical, and scientific shifts that globalization has engendered recently.
No thinking can probe the problematic of globalization unless it is totally abreast of recent trends in critical theory, economic and social thought, their implications for religious thought in the Muslim world and the West, and the ethical response that contemporary Islamic thought must present-toassert-its--vitality-and relevance.
Three Premises, Numerous Arguments To reclaim vitality, modem Islamic thought must reinterpret the main theological and normative precepts of Islam in a manner that opposes the totalitarian nature of the contemporary Muslim world's ruling political and educational systems, as well as the great boost they have received with the onslaught of globalization on the world market and the universal human psyche.
The second major premise is somewhat historical and related mainly to the colossal social and economic changes taking place in the modem capitalist West and their political and intellectual impact on the modem Muslim world and thought in general.
According to Samir Amin, in the 1950s and l 960s globalization was somewhat controlled by three international factors: the intervention of the capitalist state in the process of capital accumulation; the Soviet project of socialist economy; and the Bandung project of the non-aligned world formed under the auspices of Sukarno, Nehru, and Nasser," With privatization mushrooming in the countries of these nowdeceased leaders, the nationalist/socialist project of self-sufficiency and the empowerment of the poor has come to a deadly halt.
