        Illuminationist 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.

        Bella Belladonna

        by Narine Kroyan

        Bella is a single, 48-year-old unemployed woman, who lives with her bedridden mother, caring for her for years and striving to survive, having only her poor pension and social allowance. One day at the entrance of their building she suddenly meets Masha (Mariam), a 14-15-year-old girl with her own problems, who had arrived from Russia to visit her grandmother and spend her summer holidays in Armenia. Her father was Armenian and mother was Tatar. And despite of age difference, the two singles become close friends. They involuntarily help each other by helping others who are held in the prison of life like themselves, the captives of conventions, where everybody decides everything for them. This mission starts with the release of the chained and abandoned dogs, since only death can provide the release of the suffering prisoners of life. And Bella with Masha changing each other’s lives, also change things, going through ambiguous adventures and becoming decision-makers, responsible individuals who are ready to challenge the stereotypes and taboos of destiny, rejecting slavery and believing in freedom as an inviolable condition which of course is not easy for them.

        Leonard Cohen, The Untold Stories

        The Early Years, Volume One

        by Michael Posner

        Artist, poet, novelist, singer-songwriter, icon – there has never been a figure like Leonard Cohen. He was a truly international sensation, entertaining and inspiring the world with his art. From his groundbreaking and bestselling novels, Beautiful Losers and The Favourite Game, to timeless songs such as “Suzanne” and “Hallelujah,” Cohen is one of the world’s most cherished artists. His death in 2016 was felt around the world by the legion of fans and fellow artists who would miss his warmth, humor, intellect, and piercing insights.   Leonard Cohen, The Untold Stories follows the great man as he travels the globe developing his style and enigmatic character. This is the story of his early years, from boyhood in Montreal, university, and his growing career in to the 60s that took him to the world’s stage. It probes his public and private life, through the words of those who knew him best: his family and friends, colleagues and contemporaries, rivals, business partners, and his many lovers. From Montreal to Greece, London to Paris and New York, Cohen touched lives everywhere. It's also a snapshot of a golden era – the times that helped foster his talents and successes. In this revealing and entertaining first of three planned volumes, bestselling author and biographer Michael Posner draws on dozens of interviews to present a uniquely true and compelling portrait of Cohen – as if we’re right there beside him, overhearing a private conversation in a New York café.

        Quelques regards sur La poésie hébraïque

        by Masha Itzhaki

        Plusieurs questions préoccupent la recherche actuelle sur la littérature israélienne en général et sur la poésie en particulier. Peut-on dire que la poésie hébraïque moderne et contemporaine est, de fait, identique à la poésie israélienne ? Dans le cas contraire, comment distinguer entre les deux ? Selon quel critère ? Historique ? Politique ? Linguistique ? Par ailleurs, 1948, l’année de la création de l’État d’Israël, marque-t-elle les débuts de cette écriture, ou bien s’agit-il d’un processus évolutif à partir du début du xx e siècle, à l’époque nommée « la renaissance » ? Autrement dit, faut-il garder la distinction habituelle entre littérature pré-étatique et littérature étatique, c’est-à-dire postérieure à 1948 ? Ce débat qui prend une place de plus en plus importante est de nature historiographique. Par conséquent, il implique aussi un questionnement sur les liens entre la poésie et l’histoire particulière de l’hébreu moderne, le sionisme, la Shoah qui demande quelle est la place du narratif national du siècle dernier dans l’expression poétique actuelle. Peut-on proposer aujourd’hui un autre narratif ? Quelle place y occupent l’intime et le personnel ? À partir de quelle période ?
