What Shahrur Says
This passage attributes to Shahrur a link between a mode of reasoning and the transformation of a set of concepts into ideological tools for consolidating authority: “Shahrur links this reasoning to the transformation of concepts such as purposes, the Sunna, consensus, analogy, obedience, and mutual deterrence into ideological tools for consolidating authority and halting history.”
Atlas Explanation
The subject of critique here is the transformation into “ideological tools” and its stated function in the cited passage: consolidating authority and halting history. The list should therefore not be read as a comprehensive definition of these terms, nor as a statement that they are synonymous; the passage brings them together in the context of a critique of a possible use of them. See also: Critique of Authoritarianism and Monism, and Sunna.
Synthetic Conclusion
The statement can be read as a critique of transforming these concepts, in this context, into ideological tools for consolidating authority and halting history. The cited passage does not entail an independent definition of any of these concepts.
Open Question and Limits of the Evidence
The available passage does not clarify precisely what is meant by “this reasoning,” nor does it explain the mechanism by which each of the concepts mentioned becomes an ideological tool. Nor does it support, at this point, a claim about “human centrality”; a broader context from the book must be consulted before attributing that to the argument itself.
