To distill Larouis critical contribution, the book develops an innovative methodological framework that traces Larouis reconfiguring of temporal relations and brings his work into conversation with historical theory, political philosophy, and postcolonial studies. It demonstrates the relevance of this important thinker to a larger audience by situating his work within major contemporary theoretical debates.Inviting readers to follow and think along the philosophical foundations of Larouis critique, the book will be of interest for postgraduate students and researchers in religious, Islamic, and Middle East studies, political theory, and history.
