dc.description.abstractWith rapid globalization, the Muslim world is facing serious challenges both from outside and inside. The challenge from outside is Western domination and secular worldview which undermines the worldview of Muslim which is the backbone of Islamic civilization . The challenge from inside is the loss of Islamic identity, especially that of Islamic intellectuality. There are two main response to this challenges: one, the political and theological response of Islamic Fundamentalism against Western secularism, and two, the intellectual response of the movement of re-sacralization of knowledge. This thesis focuses on the intellectual responses of Muslim intellectuals to the challenges brought about by globalization. The specific issue dealt with is the meaning and discourse of Islamic philosophy in the contemporary context. The views of two Muslim philosophers: Seyyed Hossein Nasr and Syed Naquib al-Attas receive special focus in this study. their philosophies show how Muslim intellectuals respond to the challenges faced by Muslims in the contemporary globalized world. Both Nasr and al-Attas are well-known to Muslim and non-Muslim intellectuals. They have written many books and articles in English, and also had discussions within the outside of Muslim world,en_US
