ajiss-1585	Sabet, Amr G. E.	Formations of the Secular: By Talal Asad (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2003. 269 pages.)	2006.0	3	.pdf	application/pdf	1145	43	43	His purpose here is to counter the impression that secular political practices sim- ulate religious ones by arguing that the sacred and the secular depend upon each other, rather than one coming after the other (p. 26). According to the author, secularism is more than a mere separation of religious from secular institutions of government, for it presupposes new concepts of religion, ethics, and politics; as well as the new imperatives associated with them, and is closely linked to the emergence of the mod- ern nation-state (pp. 1-2).	cache/ajiss-1585.pdf	txt/ajiss-1585.txt
