Avoiding the double pitfall of a sclerotic tradition and a soulless modernity: Abd el-Kader anticipated this issue early on, specific to any era but which appears to be multiplied nowadays. Opposing one and the other can only generate a schizophrenic consciousness, at the origin, in particular, of the religious or secular fundamentals that we know. For Abd el-Kader, the authentic spiritual tradition can only be revived by actualizing itself in the here and now, by embracing the ever-renewed realities of time and place. The texts presented in this book come from two conferences organized in Damascus (October 2008) and Strasbourg (May 2009). They reflect different aspects of the life and work of a modern day spiritualist who embodied this delicate balance and became, according to the Sufi adage, the "son of his time" (ibn waqtihi).

This text challenges existing writing on 'Abd al-Qādir al-Jazā'irī which divides his life into two juxtaposed phases separated by narratives of conversion: from Francophobia to Francophilia, from militarism to pacifism, from activism to quietism, from Islamism to pluralism, from politics to religion. This work's interdisciplinary approach demonstrates that these narratives cannot be sustained in light of the evidence. Rather, they can be shown to originate in specific historical, cultural, and methodological tendencies within western societies and academies. Drawing on primary materials including archival documents and selections from his own writing, it constructively critiques his reception in the literature while advancing a continuous and contextualised account of his life and ideas. These include the relating of his ethico-religious and jurisprudential concerns to his political decision-making, and a resituating of his mystical writings within a definite moral, epistemological, and political context. By problematising these interpretive issues, this thesis aims at opening new avenues for understanding even as it offers its own solutions. In so doing, this study contributes to discussions on Sufism, political Islam, and east-west relations.
