Exploring the complexities of the war on terror, the book delves into the legitimacy of modernity and the conflicts arising from its expansion. It examines the challenges religion poses to modernization, particularly focusing on Islamist reactions rooted in post-colonial contexts. Richard Dien Winfield presents an anti-foundationalist perspective that justifies the rationality and freedom inherent in modernity, while analyzing Islam's role as a significant force in anti-modern religious movements.
