Conversations with History - Talal Asad

is talal asad muslim or secular?

....

I am surprised that Mr. Kreilser apparently has not idea of Prof. Asad's father, the famous Muhammad Asad. Very sad.

How to express my gratitude to this program? I am so thrilled by Talal Asad's views and insights! Thank you very much!

What a great personality. His analysis of Western secularism is briliant.

Brilliant and enlightening ^_^
Asad has gained a great understanding of people and history. We should all work hard to gain understanding of each other and this is time best spent gaining as much knowledge as possible. That said, we still need to be fully aware of the -possibility- that some knowledge is, even "unconsciously", loaded. Knowing that we can see how the world and the people living in it have been, are and will continue to be shaped by truth and lies, structure and spontaneity.

Tala Asad you really are a wonderful person and i really appreciate your work to the humanity. We humans neglect a lot of aspects that define our attitudes, moral belief and values, but tend to bite on other parties with out a thorough examination. You have emphasized on couple of crucial points that is worth re-examining ourselves with logical approach in order to come with conclusions then conclude, yet still ambiguous in some respect.
God bless you. Peace.

Un excellent interview! J'ai lu quelques uns de ses livres. Dans l'un de ses discours, ce qui m'a bcq interesse, c'etait l'approche du colonialisme britannique. Talal Asad a meme ete mentionne a la Sorbonne.
