غرب‌زدگی و جاهلیت مدرن به مثابه چرخش ضدمدرن: تطبیق اندیشه‌های سیداحمد فردید و سیدقطب

Examining the political thought of influential thinkers in the Islamic world contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics shaping contemporary discourses on Islam, modernity, and cultural identity. Accordingly, this study conducted a comparative analysis of the concepts of "Westoxification" and "Modern Jahiliyyah" in the thoughts of Fardid and Sayyid Qutb. The research methodology was based on Skinner's intentionalist hermeneutics and aimed to explain how these two thinkers conceptualized Westernization and modernity as threats to Islamic identity and values. In this regard, the intellectual and social contexts that shaped the views of these two thinkers were examined. The research findings revealed that Fardid and Qutb, despite their different intellectual origins, shared common ground in their fundamental critique of modernity, particularly in rejecting its epistemological and political foundations as manifested in rational secularism and liberal democracy. The intersection of Fardid's critique of "Westoxification" and Qutb's concept of "Modern Jahiliyyah" lay in their shared commitment to resistance against the homogenizing forces of modernity and emphasis on the distinctiveness of Islamic identity and culture. This research revealed that both thinkers, despite differences in their intellectual trajectories, created a pivotal turn in the anti-modern discourse of the Islamic world and proposed the revival of Islamic values as an alternative to Western modernity's hegemony.
