In this sequel to his 2017 I Radical Arab Nationalism and Political Islam i ,[1] Lahouari Addi fulfils his promise to explain why a shift from Plato to Kant is necessary for a full reformation of Islam.[2] It may seem a stretch to associate medieval Islam with Plato and a fully reformed Islam with Immanuel Kant, but the exercise can be intellectually invigorating.[3] Professor Addi has written a brilliant history of ideas with philosophic depth like Hegel's I History of Philosophy, i which he quotes (148-150).
