طبائع الاستبداد

إليزابيث جيلبرت

Summary

قد يكون من الصعب المجادلة بأي نهج صادق صدوق بأن هناك أي مهمة وجودية يمكن أن تقع على خارطة طريق انتشال المجتمعات العربية من واقعها المرضي المؤوف الذي حولها إلى حطام وهشيم اجتماعي يضم طوفاناً من المعذبين المفقرين المهمشين المستعبدين، أسمى و أكثر إلحاحية من مهمة وواجب منافحة الاستبداد والمستبدين بكل ما أوتي المرء به من قوة وعزم حتى لو كان ذلك بمقاومة الانغماس في لج الارتزاق من آلة الاستبداد، وتبرير فساد الذات بأنه حينما يعم الجنون والخَبَثُ فإن الخيار الأوحد هو أن تصبح مجنوناً وفاسداً، كما هم الآخرون، فليس هناك سوى الأنبياء المطهرون القادرون على حمل وزر صالح في قوم ثمود، في نهج أشمل للحفاظ على العقل من التنكس إلى أداة بيولوجية لا تعرف من قدراتها وطاقاتها سوى أهداف الأكل والشراب والتكاثر والمتع الحسية السطحية، وقد يستقيم القول بأنه لا خير في ميدان تشذيب وتهذيب قدرات العقل العاقل الفاعل غير المستقيل في حقل كشف وتعرية آليات عمل الاستبداد والمستبدين من درة عمل المجتهد وشيخ المنورين الناطقين بلسان الضاد الرحالة ك عبد الرحمن الكواكبي في كتابه طبائع الاستبداد ومصارع الاستعباد، والذي تفضل المجتهدون المكرمون في فريق دار الأكاديمية للطباعة والنشر والتوزيع في لندن بإعادة تنفيذه بشكل معاصر، وتنقيحه بمراجعة عدة طبعات سالفة له في مطلع القرن العشرين، في محاولة تنويرية لافتة لإعادة تسليط الضوء على هذا العمل الفكري الاستثنائي في أهميته وإلحاحيته وجوهريته لكل عاقل متعقل يؤمن بأن الصبر والمصابرة هي طريق تحقيق التقدم، وأن المعرفة أول الأدوات التي لا بد أن يتحلى بها كل مجتهد يسعى لتحقيق أي تقدم في مستوى حياته اليومية يمكن أن يؤسس لحياة أفضل وأكثر عدالة وكرامة لذريته وأخلافه من بعده  في قابل الأيام.

A New Capitalism - Creating A...

Frank Altman

Invest With Social Responsibility, It Can Be A Tool For GoodIn 1977, two years after I graduated from Brown University, college students around the country launched a movement against Apartheid. Their campaign focused on divestment: convincingAmerican corporations to sell shares of companies doing business with South Africa's Apartheid government. The foundation of their argument was moral and straightforward, that no one should profit from a system that brutally oppresses people. By the mid-1980s, the divestment campaign became made pariahs of the companies still willing to transact with the Apartheid regime. Reflecting on the movement, in 2010 Archbishop Desmond Tutu wrote, “We could not have achieved our freedom and just peace without the help of people around the world, who through the use of non-violent means, such as boycotts and divestment, encouraged their governments and other corporate actors to reverse decades-long support for the Apartheid regime.”Socially responsible investing is rooted in the recognition that money, because it holds power in people’s imaginations, can be a tool for accomplishing good.

The Essential Jean-Paul Sartre -...

Jean-Paul Sartre

The renowned French philosopher lays the foundation for an Existentialist approach to psychology and aesthetics in this pair of classic works.   In The Emotions: Outline of a Theory, Jean-Paul Sartre explores the role of emotions in the human psyche, presenting a phenomenological approach to psychology. Analyzing the universal, yet subjective, experiences of fear, lust, anguish, and melancholy, Sartre asserts that human beings develop their emotional capabilities from a very early age, which helps them identify and understand the names and qualities of their feelings later in life.  Essays in Aesthetics is a provocative collection that explores the nature of art and its meaning. Sartre considers the artist’s “function,” and the relation between art and the human condition. Engaging with the works of Tintoretto, Calder, Lapoujade, Titian, Raphael, and Michaelangelo, Sartre offers a fascinating analysis of the creative process. The result is a vibrant manifesto of existentialist aesthetics.

The Gunpowder Empires and Modern...

Marshall G.S. Hodgson

The final installment in the groundbreaking The Venture of Islam series, “a monumental three-volume interpretation of Islamic civilization” (Review of Middle East Studies).   The Venture of Islam has been honored as a magisterial work of the mind since its publication in early 1975. In this three-volume study, illustrated with charts and maps, Hodgson traces and interprets the historical development of Islamic civilization from before the birth of Muhammad to the middle of the twentieth century. This work grew out of the famous course on Islamic civilization that Hodgson created and taught for many years at the University of Chicago. In this concluding volume of The Venture of Islam, Hodgson describes the second flowering of Islam: the Safavi, Timuri, and Ottoman empires. The final part of the volume analyzes the widespread Islamic heritage in today’s world.Praise for The Venture of Islam  “This is a nonpareil work, not only because of its command of its subject but also because it demonstrates how, ideally, history should be written.” —The New Yorker   “In placing Islamic society in a context encompassing not only Islam outside the Middle East proper but contemporary societies such as western Europe and China, he provides a prospective sorely missed in most works on the subject.” —Linda C. Rose, History

Italy - A Concise Guide to a...

Kelly Mass

This valuable deal contains multiple titles in one book. The topics are the following:
Florence: Florence was a major center of middle ages European trade and banking, and also one of the most affluent cities in the world at the time. A lot of academics believe it was the beginning of the Renaissance, and it has been called "the Athens of the Middle Ages." Renaissance painters and sculptures alike have their legacy in this city.
Naples: Naples, established by Greeks in the first millennium BC, is just one of the world's oldest constantly occupied cities. Naples has a long history, all the way dating back to Roman times, the outbreak of the Vesuvius, and much more. Let’s learn more about this fascinating city’s history.
St. Catherine of Siena: Catherine of Siena (who lived from March 25, in 1347 to April 29th, in the year 1380), a Dominican laywoman, was a mystic, activist, and writer who impacted Italian literature and the Catholic Church significantly. She was canonized in 1461 and is a Medical professional of the Church. She was born and raised in Siena and, regardless of her parents' desires, desired dedicate her life to God from an early age.
The Vatican: What comes to mind when you say the words “Vatican City?” The Pope? Big cathedrals or underground catacombs with the corpses of buried saints from the past? Crowds of people with candles? Or a choir of young men in a certain attire? The Vatican is a landlocked, independent city state and enclave in Rome, Italy.
Venetian Empire: When we think of Venice, we think of masks, canals, murals and frescoes, and little “gondoliers” with picturesque boats. Venice, indeed, has an impressive artistic history. But did you know that Venice was also, for a while, a considerably sized empire? The creation of the Venetian republic is said to have accompanied the starting of the church of St. James at the exact same time.
