Submitted by siteadmin on Mon, 03/23/2020 - 13:07

The adoption of the 2030 sustainable development goals (SDGs) by the UN member nations is of great importance. These goals seek to ensure that no single individual is left behind, and everyone is carried along. Key to achieving these goals is to ensure the availability of data and skills necessary for interpreting such data.

Confusing concepts and terms such as “equality,” “justice,” “freedom,” “masculinity” and “femaleness” – and the consequential roles and functions – are most significant intellectual circles that invoke a series of serious debates in the absence of intellectual and field projects of theorization that might largely ensure proper discussion. Therefore, the main article of this book attempts to develop a frame of reference within which it is possible to read these controversial terms taking into consideration their historical, intellectual and political contexts.

Submitted by mubarak23 on Wed, 11/13/2019 - 17:43

يعدّ هذا الكتاب من أمهات كتب التراث الإسلامي وإن كان لم يلق من الباحثين العرب أية عناية تذكر، وترك قابعا هنا وهناك في خزائن المخطوطات بالمكتبات المختلفة ، وذلك على الرغم من أهميته في إبراز جهود الصوفية في الرد على الفلاسفة وبيان تهافتهم في فلسفتهم ومحاولة إسقاط هذه الفلسفة ببيان عيوبها، والكشف عن وجوه قصورها وعجز الفلاسفة المسلمين أنفسهم عن الوصول إلى الحقيقة، رغم أنها هدف مشترك ينشده الفلسفي كما ينشده الصوفي.
