Ist der Islam säkularisierbar?

On Tuesday, 04 April, 07:30 p.m., Daniel Kinitz will give a public talk on the question, whether Islam is secularisable. He will elaborate on theoretical questions that come along if people talk about "the" Islam or "the" Secularity and discuss possible answers with examples from diverse areas such as: sharia and law, Quran and fundamentalism or religion and arts.

The lecture will be held in German at Bibliotheca Albertina, Vortagssaal. Please spread the announcement among your colleagues.
