Examining the historical conflicts between �faith� and �materialism�, the author presents the �bipolarity� of Islam, bringing us close to the only three possible worldviews: religious, materialistic and Islamic. He presents Islam as a method, not as a ready-made solution. In his nearly existential view, Islam is not something given, but a �Third Way� that has to be discovered for oneself; as it integrates both the religious and the materialistic aspects of life.
