Reciting a Rosary Before Heidegger’s Hut – 2

Then let us return to the beginning: Is it not possible that, in Heidegger’s own thinking on Being—where the “river,” even if not the sea of Being itself, is said to be synonymous with the journey—what he pulled out with his fishing line was not a fish, but rather an old boot or (why not?) a sandal from ancient Greece, the kind that might have been worn by Socrates himself, the very figure who, in the Western tradition, is said to have initiated metaphysics?

Introduction to the History of the Perception of Islam in the West – 1

Prof. Dr. İbrahim Kalın

The first part of our study will focus on how Islam was initially perceived by Christian theologians, first in the East and then in Europe, as a religious heresy. The roots of common views such as Islam being a religion of the sword, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) being a violent figure, and the Qur’an being a meaningless theological text all go back to this period.

On The Victim, the Enemy and The Genocide

Dr. Mustafa Ekici

Zionism, as a highly controversial attempt to create a homogeneous nation from an ethnic multi diversity that not rests on historical reality but only myths and folk tales. A gathered community of fugitives, who have never established a connection with the land throughout history and weirds that have never been neighbors to anyone, can only find shelter in myths, not in the history. They attempt to exist by breathing life into a stoned corpse on the lands where they can not take root.
