The Question of Providence and the Problem of Evil in Suhrawardī

2021

Abstract Šihāb al-Dīn al-Suhrawardī’s philosophical works seem to contain two conflicting views on providence: in the Talwīḥāt and the Mašāriʿ, he endorses the Avicennian view, only to deny providence altogether in the Ḥikmat al-išrāq. This contribution aims to explain the seeming inconsistency by investigating it in light of the underlying question of God’s knowledge of particular things. I will also argue that despite his qualms concerning providence, Suhrawardī accepts the closely related Avicennian answer to the problem of evil.

Hizballāh and Lebanese Nationalism: The muqāwamah Proposal, Limits and Perimeters

2018

Abstract In this paper, an attempt was made to understand whether the ideological proposal of the muqāwamah (Islamic resistance), advanced by Ḥizballāh from 1982 until the present day, can be considered as a national value that is valid not only for the Shia community, but also for other communities, such as Christian or Sunni.

Génesis y resolución de conflictos relacionados con la instalación de mezquitas y oratorios: el caso del oratorio de Singuerlín (Santa Coloma de Gram…

2017

Durante los últimos años, se han sucedido, en diferentes territorios del Estado español, los conflictos relacionados con la instalación de mezquitas y oratorios destinados a la práctica del culto musulmán. Este artículo analiza uno de los conflictos más intensos, el desatado en 2004 ante el intento de apertura del oratorio del barrio de Singuerlín en Santa Coloma de Gramenet.

A partir de las entrevistas en profundidad efectuadas con los actores implicados, varios años después, se analizan los elementos estructurales del conflicto y se plantea una reflexión acerca de la forma en la que se ha ido co…

Weaving the threads of international criminal justice: The double dialogicity of law and politics in the ICC al-Mahdi case

2021

International audience; In this paper, we examine the international criminal trial of Ahmad al-Faqi al-Mahdi, a Malian Islamist who appeared before the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, charged with the destruction of Islamic shrines during the 2012 jihadist occupation of Timbuktu. Our objective is to analyze the so-called 'al-Mahdi case' as a dialogical network (the destructions occurred in the context of an asynchronous translocal press-mediated exchange between jihadists and the international community) and as an event unfolding at a dialogical site (when the commander responsible for the destructions was referred to the ICC four years later). These two dialogical orders e…

Globalización, valores sociales y choque de civilizaciones

2005

The thesis of the supposed clash of the Islamic and the western civilizations is, by far, the most diffused and debated of all the subjects and proposals dealt Huntington in his book <i>The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order</i>, above all after the terrorist attacks of the September 11<sup>th</sup>. The results of the World Social Survey 2000-2001 directed by Inglehart, are used in the present article to test the thesis of the cultural differences in a wide sample of Western Christian and Islamic societies. The comparative analysis undertaken allows to conclude that the cultural differences between both group societies are quite important, althou…

A special issue, “Remembering the Past and the Future - Korean Culture in a Changing World,” is devoted to understanding Korean culture. Regardless of the bulk of comprehensive information available today, accurate knowledge of the Asian culture in Europe or the European culture in Asia has not become considerably deeper. Sometimes even to the contrary – the old stereotypes continue to exist as part of the packaging for pseudo information adjusted to the short-term goals of the contemporary globalised society, supplemented by travel guides and announcements tailored to the needs of immediate politically economic conjuncture. And yet, this is only the top of the intercultural communication i…
