| Abstract: | Global sociocultural and civilizational futures in the context of changing global realities are examined. Overly reductionist worldviews are being replaced by a recaptured awareness of complexity which can be found in non-western models. The "three world" model was very simplistic and has been rendered irrelevant: thinking about modernity now requires thinking about culture, cultural identity, and diversity of civilizational perspectives. The Islamic concept of Ummah provides such a framework for the Muslim community. Consideration of the notion of Ummah, its traditions and how it is viewed by Islamic fundamentalism, is made before arguing that a new, future Ummah will provide a distinctive pathway to change. |
