History Of Western Philosophy,Writer : Bertrand russell
About the Author
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) was a British mathematician, logician, philosopher, and historian. He started his writing career in 1896. In 1910, he discovered and resolved Russell’s Paradox in mathematics. He popularised philosophy by delivering many lectures and broadcasts on BBC. His published works span over 100 books on analytical philosophy, history, and mathematics. He was one of the leading opponents of World War I, Israel’s aggression against the Middle East, and the United States’ genocide in Vietnam. He also made a cameo appearance in an Indian anti-war feature film Aman. Because of his commitment to nonviolence, he faced many troubles: a six-month imprisonment for publicly lecturing against the United States’ interference in the affairs of the United Kingdom, a fine for publishing an anti- war pamphlet, and his dismissal from Trinity College. Initially, Russell was in favour of socialism but after his visit to the Soviet Union and meeting with Vladimir Lenin, he returned unimpressed and expressed his opposition to the utilitarian and anti-aesthetic stance of Bolshevism. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950 for championing humanitarian ideals and freedom of thought. Russell had an agile mind and his insights into world problems will be remembered for centuries to come. In the prologue to his autobiography, he summed up the passions that drove him thus: ‘the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.’ He stayed politically active till the end of his life

Ibn Khaldun On Sufism: Remedy For the Questioner In Search Of answers,Writer : Yumna Ozer
Books, Islam, ReligionIbn Khaldun On Sufism: Remedy For the Questioner In Search Of answers,Writer : Yumna Ozer
About the Author
Ibn Khaldun on Sufism: Remedy for the Questioner in Search of Answers is the first ever translation into English of this treatise-Shifa al-Sa il li-Tahdhib al-Masa il.
Though Ibn Khaldun is renowned for his seminal works, the Muqaddima and the Thar, which are considered milestones in the fields of medieval sociology and the philosophy of history, little is known about his religious and spiritual life. In her introduction to Ibn Khaldun on Sufism, Dr Yumna Özer seeks to restore Ibn Khaldun and his work to the context from which his theories arose, both in intellectual and religious terms; she also draws a vivid painting of Sufism in the fourteenth century and rethinks Ibn Khaldun s relationship with Sufism. The translation itself addresses the dichotomies or synergies between religious law and the Sufi path, the roles played by jurists, and that played by Sufis, and the particular position of the Sufi shaykh or spiritual master. Ibn Khaldun on Sufism: Remedy for the Questioner in Search of Answers provides a rare glimpse into the world of the fourteenth century legists and Sufis and into Ibn Khaldun s own spiritual life and thought.SKU: 76339 -

Autobiography, Biography & Autobiography, Books, Classic, FictionsMuhammad: His Life Based On the Earliest Sources,Writer : Martin Lings
About the Author
Martin Lings s Life of Muhammad is unlike any other.

Martin Lings has an unusual gift for narrative. He has adopted a style which is at once extremely readable and reflects both the simplicity and grandeur of the story.
