The Presumed State: Residues of the Authoritarian Dualism in the Throes of State Formation in Islamic culture

Abstract

The origin of this research is that the main defect in the power structure in the history of Islamic culture is not the existence of authoritarian values and institutions, but rather the existence of a duality between the spiritual dimension and the material dimension of power and through it the state, a duality that the research will attempt to diagnose. The cognitive vision of the research is also linked to a basic assumption that the current structure is in line with the initial formation of the state in a special authoritarian cultural structure, which is the Islamic culture. It contradicts the existing institutional whole that controls the state on the practical level. The research was divided into an introduction and two chapters, the first dealt with the origins of the imbalance in the authoritarian structure in Islamic culture, and the second chapter dealt with the contradictory outcome between the Western and Islamic cultures. The research concluded that the supposed state or the expected state did not achieve the state as an institution in the Islamic cultural structure to this day, and this does not mean that it is an impossible state to apply based on the same culture, or that the presence of a special structure in the authoritarian distribution of values means the absence of the institutional impact that has accumulated in the framework of this culture.
