Download or read book The Muslim Brotherhood written by Beverley Milton-Edwards and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Muslim Brotherhood is the most significant and enduring Sunni Islamist organization of the contemporary era. Its roots lie in the Middle East but it has grown into both a local and global movement, with its well-placed branches reacting effectively to take the opportunities for power and electoral competition offered by the Arab Spring. Regarded by some as a force of moderation among Islamists, and by others as a façade hiding a terrorist fundamentalist threat, the potential influence of the Muslim Brotherhood on Middle Eastern politics remains ambiguous. The Muslim Brotherhood: The Arab Spring and its Future Face provides an essential insight into the organisation, with chapters devoted to specific cases where the Brotherhood has important impacts on society, the state and politics. Key themes associated with the Brotherhood, such as democracy, equality, pan-Islamism, radicalism, reform, the Palestine issue and gender, are assessed to reveal an evolutionary trend within the movement since its founding in Egypt in 1928 to its manifestation as the largest Sunni Islamist movement in the Middle East in the 21st century. The book addresses the possible future of the Muslim Brotherhood; whether it can surprise sceptics and effectively accommodate democracy and secular trends, and how its ascension to power through the ballot box might influence Western policy debates on their engagement with this manifestation of political Islam. Drawing on a wide range of sources, this book presents a comprehensive study of a newly resurgent movement and is a valuable resource for students, scholars and policy makers focused on Middle Eastern Politics.

Download or read book The Opinion System written by Kirk Wetters and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book revises the concept of the public sphere by examining opinion as a foundational concept of modernity. Indispensable to ideas like "public opinion" and "freedom of opinion," opinion - though often held in dubious repute - here assumes a central position in modern philosophy, literature, sociology, and political theory. Kirk Wetters focuses on interpretive shifts begun in the Enlightenment and cemented by the French Revolution to restore the concept of "opinion" to a central role in our understanding of the political public sphere." "Addressing an intriguing range of thinkers, some little known to an American readership, Wetters argues that the transformations wrought by opinion are resisted by literary language, which opposes the rigid formalism that compels individuals to identify with their opinions. Rather than forcing thought to bind itself to stable opinions, modern literary forms seek to suspend this moment of closure, so that held opinions do not bring all deliberative processes to a standstill."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Agency and Imagination in the Films of David Lynch written by James D. Reid and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-12-13 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agency and Imagination in the Films of David Lynch: Philosophical Perspectives offers a sustained philosophical interpretation of the filmmaker’s work in light of classic and contemporary discussions of human agency and the complex relations between our capacity to act and our ability to imagine. With the help of the pathological characters that so often leave their unforgettable mark on Lynch’s films, this book reveals several important ways in which human beings fail to achieve fuller embodiments of agency or seek substitute satisfactions in spaces of fantasy. In keeping with Lynch’s penchant for unconventional narrative techniques, James D. Reid and Candace R. Craig explore the possibility, scope, and limits of the very idea of agency itself and what it might be like to renounce concepts of agency altogether in the interpretation and depiction of human life. In a series of interlocking readings of eight feature-length films and Twin Peaks: The Return that combine suggestive philosophical analysis with close attention to cinematic detail, Reid and Craig make a convincing case for the importance of David Lynch’s work in the philosophical examination of agency, the vagaries of the human imagination, and the relevance of film for the philosophy of human action. Scholars of film studies and philosophy will find this book particularly useful.

Download or read book Games Within Games written by D.V.K. RAO, IOFS (Retd.) and published by Prowess Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-23 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Games within Games was not written with any game plan in mind but was rather conceived to facilitate the examination of a key area of management, leadership and often the lack of it, with an ease of approachability which is at once entertaining and enlightening. It was, indeed, a challenge to balance the two. The book is the happy result of the author’s three and half decades of service with the Government of India which accorded him with the opportunity to be with all manner of bosses: the good, the bad and the ugly. They all mattered, in their own way, their presence was sometimes commanding, sometimes demanding and sometimes reminding. They all served a purpose to exemplify themselves, some as leaders with a difference and others with an indifference. The book, hopefully, will serve its purpose of learning with laughter which, regretfully, not many management books manage to achieve. There’s some joy in sacrificing oneself at the altar of humour rather than being the proverbial sacrificial lamb.

Download or read book Managing Abundance written by Pradeep Nevatia and published by Business Expert Press. This book was released on 2021-02-18 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India’s rural BPO guru Pradeep Nevatia joins with New York-based hedge fund investor Rahul Nevatia to present the until-now abstract concept of abundance through an innovative managing by ethics (MBE) framework that uncompromisingly connects individual self to collective self in self sustained abundance beyond the hocus-pocus of scarcity. As against the card-carrying management by objectives (MBO) acquirement, the pioneering MBE paradigm sets human–nature co-existence as the basis to realize abundance, the source energy of all beings. The ethics–abundance theme of this book could not be timelier for businesses to reconstruct their growth strategies for a sustainable future following the coronavirus pandemic. The industrial and financial engineering duo has leveraged their respective business turnaround and foot-on-the-gas-pedal backgrounds to thoroughly revamp the contemporary policy–goal deployment methodologies and make determined amendments to reconfigure several management processes in vogue to deliver sustainable business results in a meaningfully restructured leadership–fellowship relationship dynamic replacing the scarcity-driven everyday mill with natural rhythms of abundance.

Download or read book Fate and Life written by Michael Allen Fox and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some believe that fate rules our lives, while others dismiss the idea outright. Fate remains central to many cultural outlooks, and in our age of conflict, climate change, and pandemic, it features conspicuously in debates about the future. A careful examination of this important idea – its background, many meanings, and significance for everyday life – is not only informative and intriguing but also timely. In Fate and Life Michael Fox confronts the idea of fate head on and demonstrates that how we interpret and apply this concept can make it work for rather than against us. Many discussions characterize fate negatively or as part of the occult, representing it as a supernatural force that stifles our freedom. Fateful ideas have also helped rationalize and promote the persecution of certain groups. But viewed more positively, fate can be understood as the given conditions of existence and the imponderable way certain unanticipated events momentously alter the path we follow over time. Thinking about fate teaches us about who we are, how we see the world, and our evaluation of the possibilities of life. Fate and Life provides a multicultural and global account of how we talk about the idea of fate, how we use and misuse it, and how it contrasts with notions like destiny and karma. Fox’s original perspective – a breakthrough in philosophy and the history of ideas – shows that fate is supported by experience; it is compatible with our sense of agency and purpose; and it helps us make sense of our lives.
