Reading the Quran: The Contemporary Relevance of the Sacred Text of Islam
ISBN: 9780190657840 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "I grew up reading the Qur'an on my mother's lap," writes Ziauddin Sardar. "It's an experience I share with most Muslim children. And so it is that our connection to the Qur'an is infused with associations of the warmest and most enduring of human bonds."
In Reading the Qur'an, Sardar--one of Europe's leading public intellectuals--laments that for far too many Muslims, the Qur'an he had learned in his mother's lap has become a stick used for ensuring conformity and suppressing dissenting views. Indeed, some find in the Qur'an justification for misogyny, validation for hatred of... "I grew up reading the Qur'an on my mother's lap," writes Ziauddin Sardar.

ISBN: 9781862077553 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Raised in Pakistan, Ziauddin Sardar learned the Koran at his mother's knee. As a young student in London, he embarked on a quest to grasp the meaning and contemporary relevance of his religion and, hopefully, to find "paradise."

Rescuing All Our Futures: The Future of Futures Studies
ISBN: 9780275965594 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The future is the last frontier where nonwestern societies are still free--free to envision desirable futures based on their own worldviews, cultures, and traditions. Yet the discipline of futures studies, this volume argues, has abandoned its goal of exploring such diverse and alternative futures in favor of a single, myopic vision that is incapable of seeing outside the framework of western thought and action. Its overemphasis on forecasting and prediction, its overpreoccupation with technology, and its neglect of nonwestern cultures and concerns have transformed the discipline into an...
