The Dispossessed Generation -...

Jörg Gertel, David Kreuer,...

The Arab uprisings of the early 2010s raised hopes for the development of more democratic structures and better living conditions for millions in the region. Instead, they were followed by authoritarian backlash, civil wars, economic collapse and food and energy insecurity.


Young people are often the ones hit hardest by the conjunction of these problems. How do they cope with insecurities and growing uncertainties, and what drives them to pursue their own dreams in spite of being disenfranchised?

The Dispossessed Generation is the most comprehensive, in-depth study of young people in the MENA region to date, providing invaluable insights into their self-perceptions and life chances. In this volume, an interdisciplinary team of researchers assess a survey of 12,000 sixteen- to thirty-year-olds from Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen. They illuminate the extent to which young people engage with their societies and mine new opportunities from a multiplicity of crises.

I Think Therefore I Orgasm -...

Sylvain Bosselet

In their search for truth and happiness, the classical philosophers overlooked one of the most important facets of our lives—sexuality. The author rectifies this error by questioning this field of knowledge and practice: What is "good" coitus? What is a "nice" ass? What is a "legal" sexual act? What is universally "true" in sexuality? Who is "perverse?" Does sex represent a momentary pleasure, or could it embody a foundation for happiness? Using concrete examples, Sylvain Bosselet deconstructs the preconceptions that hinder our freedom and hinder sexual happiness. He seeks to lay the foundations for a philosophy of sex.

Integrity - The Foundation of...

Esther Jameson

Integrity is the cornerstone of trust, and trust is essential in every aspect of our lives. Whether in personal relationships, the workplace, or society as a whole, integrity is what binds us together and ensures that we can rely on one another. Without integrity, trust is compromised, and relationships become fragile, leading to misunderstandings, broken bonds, and lost opportunities. It is the foundation upon which all other virtues are built, and it is a key element that defines who we are as individuals and how we are perceived by others.
At its core, integrity is about being true to one’s principles and values, regardless of the circumstances. It means doing the right thing, even when no one is watching, and maintaining consistency between one’s beliefs, actions, and words. Integrity is not about perfection; rather, it is about being honest, transparent, and committed to doing what is right, even when it’s difficult or inconvenient.
One of the most powerful aspects of integrity is its ability to build trust. When we demonstrate integrity, others come to rely on our word and actions. Trust is built over time through repeated demonstrations of honesty, consistency, and reliability. Integrity fosters an environment where people feel safe, respected, and valued. It is the glue that holds relationships together, whether in families, friendships, or workplaces. People with integrity are seen as dependable, ethical, and authentic, making them natural leaders and role models.
