""Enemy in the Mirror" is a necessary corrective to a good deal of ill-considered polemic, one that has important implications for understanding all types of fundamentalism. Roxanne Euben makes convincing arguments, encouraging the reader to reconsider the origins of modern rationalism and anti-rationalism. Her insistence that political theory open its doors to consideration of questions drawn from other cultures is also saluta0ry and long overdue."--Edmund Burke, III, University of California, Santa Cruz
"Roxanne Euben's argument that one should analyze Islamic fundamentalist thought not only for its function but also for its meaning--the intrinsic value of its ideas--is valid and absolutely timely. "Enemy in the Mirror" is a well-researched and impressive contribution to the analysis of Islamic political thought and to comparative political philosophy."--Seyla Benhabib, Harvard University
