Summary

In "The Development of Metaphysics in Persia: A Contribution to the History of Muslim Philosophy," Muhammad Sir Iqbal meticulously explores the evolution of metaphysical thought within the context of Persian philosophy, from its origins to its contemporary expressions. The book employs a critical and analytical literary style, blending historical narration with philosophical inquiry. Iqbal navigates through the rich tapestry of thinkers, ideas, and spiritual movements that have shaped Muslim philosophy, engaging with prominent figures such as Avicenna and Suhrawardi. His nuanced examination reveals the interplay between metaphysical concepts and the socio-cultural fabric of Iran, offering readers a profound understanding of philosophical progress in the Muslim world. Muhammad Sir Iqbal, a prominent philosopher, poet, and politician in British India, was deeply influenced by the intellectual traditions of both the East and West. His own journey through diverse educational landscapes'Äîranging from traditional Islamic scholarship to Western philosophical thought'Äîequipped him with a unique perspective that informs this rigorous study. His fervent belief in the importance of selfhood and spirituality was a catalyst for his examination of metaphysical themes, which resonate throughout his works. This book is highly recommended for scholars and students interested in Muslim philosophy, metaphysics, and the intricate development of philosophical thought in Persia. Iqbal's critical insights and passionate articulation of complex ideas serve as a vital resource for understanding the rich intellectual heritage of the Islamic world.

    A History of War explains the dark but compelling story of warfare, from its emergence in prehistoric tribal disputes, through great imperial and global wars, to present-day counterinsurgency and 'hybrid' conflicts. Two factors sit at the heart of this story: technology - including weapons, vehicle systems, vehicles and tactics. A History of War charts the rise of the army, explaining how primitive tribal war parties evolved through seasonal levies and feudal armies to professional standing armies and mass conscription forces, with formal organisational structures. 
     
    The narrative of A History of War is sewn together by the conflicts that have periodically reshaped history and created the roots of current conflict, from the crusades and two world wars to Cold War and the conflicts in the Middle East. The book provides summaries and insights into these disputes while recognising the human drama of conflict, with first-hand insight into the experience of combat.

    A “marvelously readable” critique of Sartre, Camus, de Beauvoir, and other French postwar intellectuals that “consistently entertains and provokes” (The Washington Post).   The uniquely prominent role of French intellectuals in European cultural and political life following World War II is the focus of this book by the acclaimed author of Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945. Tony Judt analyzes this intellectual community’s most divisive conflicts: how to respond to the promise and the betrayal of Communism and how to sustain a commitment to radical ideals when confronting the hypocrisy in Stalin’s Soviet Union, in the new Eastern European Communist states, and in France itself. Judt shows why this was an all-consuming moral dilemma to a generation of French men and women, how their responses were conditioned by war and occupation, and how postwar political choices have come to sit uneasily on the conscience of later generations of French intellectuals. Judt’s analysis extends beyond the writings of fashionable “existentialist” personalities such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, and Simone de Beauvoir to include a wide intellectual community of Catholic philosophers, non-aligned journalists, literary critics and poets, Communist and non-Communist alike—and asserts that what he calls the “moral irresponsibility” of those years damaged France’s cultural standing, and reflected the nation’s larger difficulty in confronting its own ambivalent past.   “A forthright and uncommonly damning study of those intellectually volatile years . . . indicts these intellectuals for their inhumanity in failing to test their political thought against political reality.” —The New York Times Book Review   “Brilliant . . . splendidly written.” —Foreign Affairs

    Ever wonder why poverty exists and how we could get rid of it? Here's your answer. 
    Darryl Finkton, Jr. is a hedge fund manager turned community organizer. Raised in poverty, Darryl went on to graduate from Harvard College and the University of Oxford, where he studied as a Rhodes Scholar. In “End Poverty. Make Trillions.” Darryl shares how he rose from rags to riches, and how we can ensure everyone has an opportunity to generate wealth. 
    A Surprisingly Simple Plan for Ending Poverty–and Making Trillions of Dollars for Ourselves While We Do It 
    Poverty costs the United States more than a trillion dollars a year for myriad complex reasons. Ending it would result in joy that is hard to quantify. Yet for all the complexities involved, the “how” of it all–the way to escape national suffering and decline and start off toward a future of organic, resilient national growth–is simple. 
    It’s SO SIMPLE. 
    To have lives of dignity and purpose and contribute meaningfully to our capitalist economy, America’s poor people do not need the rest of us to feed or shelter them. They don’t need us to derail our lives to take care of them or even think about them all that much. 
    They need MONEY.

    Gerontocracy in America - How...

    A leading social critic identifies our least-discussed major crisis, and sets out to solve it.As Americans debate President Biden’s infirmities and President Trump’s erratic behavior, we’ve neglected the bigger problem before us: a massive transfer of power and wealth to the oldest among us, and the curtailment of the prospects of the young. In Gerontocracy in America, the historian and social critic Samuel Moyn offers a piercing diagnosis of our age divide and its consequences. Even apart from the presidency, in legislatures, businesses, and the courts, the average leader’s age has risen dramatically. The elderly predominantly fund campaigns and dominate their agendas, often with the intent to block any challenge to their status. The tax code is rigged on their behalf, as is an economy geared to sheltering financial and housing assets. The United States was founded on the promise of generational renovation but has become an increasingly febrile country of old men.But it doesn’t need to be this way. With understanding and wit, Moyn shows how elder power can be dismantled. With strong safety nets in place, mandatory retirement ages can be established. The early transfer of assets between generations could be encouraged and young voters can be granted more voice. In such a world, the elderly themselves would be freed from power games to confront the existential opportunities of aging, while the young would find their path to starting out in life unblocked at last.
