Özet
Anne Norton’s On the Muslim question is a timely contribution to our political and social
imaginary by making lucid explanations about our pseudo-controversies over religiosities.
Very few academics are able to link our mundane problems of everyday life with the high
theoretical and politico-philosophical assumptions on religious difference. Articulating an
interdisciplinary discourse that intersects political science, anthropology, theology and
cultural studies, Anne Norton opens us a vivid, multifaceted and yet an easily
apprehensible world. While reading Norton’s recent book, one would concretely imagine
what is going on in a Dutch street in the name of sexual freedom and the freedom of
political expression. One would also think through the vocabulary of John Rawls in his
quest for universal justice in Laws of People. In both cases the themes intersect a specific
problem called the Muslim question in the Western imaginary. The particular meets the
universal in the book whose author wants us to see that all of us are the members of the
same human community. Instead of searching for a clash of civilization, we should recognize that human cultural differences, religious plurality and establishing unity in diversity by living together in solidarity would be enriching for us all.
