Product description

A book / Heretical ideas about democracy, secularism, modernity, and Arab resistance, by the author / George Tarabishi, raises bold critical questions that reformulate the major intellectual issues in the Arab space. It analyzes with a "heretical" approach the concepts of democracy (is it a mechanism or a culture?), secularism (does it have roots in Islam?), translation, and modernity, questioning the Arab resistance and its psychological and intellectual roots. The book does not provide ready-made answers, but rather provokes the reader to review assumptions, opening a complex dialogue about the relationship of the self with heritage, the other, and modernization, in an attempt to dissect the crises of the contemporary Arab mind.
