  • Pluralism and the Mindby Matthew Colborn

    Andrews UK 2011; US$ 20.99

    Paul Feyerabend noted that ‘… the world which we want to explore is a largely unknown entity. We must, therefore, keep our options open and … not restrict ourselves in advance.’ (1975, p. 20). Given that consciousness is poorly understood and vaguely defined, such advice seems sound, but is frequently ignored in favour of an insistence that a scientific theory of consciousness must be reducible to current monist physics and biology.This book argues that such an insistence is historically un... more...

  • Passion for Islamby Caryle Murphy

    Simon & Schuster 2002; US$ 14.99

    "Islam's revival is reshaping Egypt and other Arab countries in ways beyond violent politics. The yearning for personal solace, a just political system, indigenous lifestyles, and relevant theology all await satisfaction....Just as the Nile runs through Egypt for almost eight hundred miles, giving it life, so also the Straight Way, the way of Allah, runs through it, beckoning its people. The search by Egypt's Muslims for a modern understanding of the Straight Way is the essence of today's passion for Islam." -- from Chapter 1, "First Verses" Written by a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, this authoritative and enthralling primer on the modern face of Islam provides one of the most comprehensive accountings for the roots of religious terrorism... more...

  • Religion and Society in Qajar Iranby Robert Gleave

    RoutledgeCurzon 2004; US$ 200.00

    E. G. Browne relates this story in his A Year amongst the Persians in order to demonstrate the ?gross ignorance which sometimes characterises [a mullå?s] decisions?. The episode was related to Browne by one of his BÇb¥ associates in Kerman, and the question was designed ?to expose this ignorance? of the clergy. As it is related here, however, the jibe is unwarranted. A hole ?half a yard in each direction? is not half a yard square (it is half a yard cubed). The mullå, in the absence of a specification of depth, assumes that the hole is dug to the same depth as the original request. This assumption is perfectly legitimate from a jurisprudential perspective.2 If this is the case, then the workman does indeed deserve one quarter of the... more...
