Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2020Arab liberal thought in the modern age
by Meir Hatina
The book provides in-depth analysis of Arab liberalism, which, although lacking public appeal and a compelling political underpinning, still sustained viability over time and remained a constant part of the Arab landscape. The study focuses on the second half of the twentieth century and the early twenty-first century, a period that witnessed continuity as well as change in liberal thinking. Post-1967 liberals, as their predecessors, confronted old dilemmas, socio-economic upheavals, political instability and cultural disorientation, but also demonstrated ideological rejuvenation and provided liberal thought with new emphases and visions. Arab liberals' ongoing debates over freedom of religion, secularism, individualism, democracy and human rights were aimed at formulating of a comprehensive liberal project seeking to enact an Arab Enlightenment.

Humanities & Social SciencesIlluminationist Philosophy
(Ishragh)
by Hassan Mo'allemi, PhD
Philosophy of Ishraq is the intermediate stage between the Peripatetic (Masha) philosophy and transcendentalism. It is both reformation and groundwork; it reforms the Masha philosophy and lays the groundwork for the transcendentalism. Ishraq Philosophy just like its preceding philosophies aims at the presentation of an orderly cosmos with its hierarchies in which every creature has its own determined sphere of existence. It specifically endeavors to give an account of the place of Man in this system and does so through methods of Ishraq and logical reasoning. The impressionability of Islamic philosophies from the Quran and the tradition of the twelve inerrant Imams, is in full show in the Ishraq philosophy; even the evolution of the Islamic philosophy is easily discernable in it. The book is organized into four chapters. The following topics are consecutively addressed: The Ishraq Philosophy, The critics of the Sheikh al'Ishraq on Masha Philosophy, epistemology of them Ishraq Philosophy, Ontology of the Ishraq Philosophy. At the end of each chapter there are summaries, reviews and questions on the themes explored.
