https://doi.org/10.22311/2074-1529-2019-15-2-71-86
Abstract
The article is dedicated to Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd (1943–2010) — an Egyptian thinker, one of the leading liberal theologians of Islam, professor at Cairo University. The work traces in detail the life and scientifi cpaths of Nasr Abu Zayd, including the process of the so-called “Abu Zayd case”, which had resonance not only in the Muslim, but also in the Western world, and caused the emigration of the thinker from his native country. The author also analyzes the main ideas of Abu Zayd, which resulted in criticism of adherents of traditional views and gave reason for accusing the thinker of apostasy.
