Its central tenet, advanced by its founder, the charismatic Sunni preacher Fethullah Gulen (b. 1941), is that Muslims should engage positively with modernity. A prime means of advancing this philosophy has been education: at hundreds of Gulen-run schools and universities, not only in Turkey but also worldwide, instructors aim to cultivate the next generation of Muslim bankers, biologists, software engineers and politicians. But how does the Gulen movement resolve the sometimes conflicting positions of Sunni Islam and contemporary science for example, on evolutionary theory? Drawing on sustained ethnographic research conducted among Gulen communities in Turkey, Caroline Tee analyses their complex attitudes towards secular modernity. She focuses on education, science research and industry to explore how pious Muslim practitioners engage in science at high levels, arguing that the Gulen movement's success in this critical area of modernity has facilitated its rise to prominence in recent decades. Considered against the backdrop of Turkish politics, and particularly the acrimonious power-struggle between the Gulen movement and its erstwhile ally, Turkey's ruling AK Party, Gulenist engagement with modern science is revealed as a key source of its influence and success. 600 10 $a GuÌlen, Fethullah. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nr96036931 610 20 $a GuÌlen Hizmet Movement. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2012134098 650 0 $a Islam and social problems $z Turkey. 650 0 $a Islam and science $z Turkey $x History. 600 17 $a GuÌlen, Fethullah, $d 1938- $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)122500148 650 7 $a AnhaÌngerschaft. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4352534-9 650 7 $a Erziehung. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4015482-8 650 7 $a GuÌlen-Bewegung. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)104922504X 650 7 $a Islam. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4027743-4 650 7 $a ModernitaÌt. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4139842-7 650 7 $a Politik. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4046514-7 651 7 $a TuÌrkei. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4061163-2 600 17 $a GuÌlen, Fethullah. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00381987 610 27 $a GuÌlen Hizmet Movement. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01913973 650 7 $a Islam and science. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979885 650 7 $a Islam and social problems. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979888 651 7 $a Turkey. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208963 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619010942.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=25A96934019E11E89C78220097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
