Islam and the Myth of Confrontation

Religion and Politics in the Middle East

The collapse of communism and the rise of militant Islamic movements in the Middle East, raised the specter of a future dominated by the conflict between "Islam" and "the West". September 11 has only branded that notion onto the world’s consciousness. In this up-to-date edition of Halliday's classic text, he sets out to reject these interpretations. Considering the sources of Islamic militancy and analyzing the confrontational rhetoric of both Islamic and anti-Muslim demagogues, he provides an alternative, critical but cautious, reassessment.

Equally they would point to the importance of transnational ideologies - Arab
nationalism, Islam, Third World assertion - in the conflict, and of the growing
communality of interest of the developed countries who acted to defend what they
saw as an international interest. For many ... the Western states in colonial times.

any 'historically significant' theory, can 'more or less' provide an explanation. Yet

He was careful not to breathe too deeply, for he feared that even his breath might
be heard. He aimed the point of his sword to his left, gently rested one of the flat
sides of the blade against the leather he had hung over his left arm, and lowered
the hilt to the floor. Now with his right hand free, he reached into a small pouch
that was tied to his hip and hung along the side of his loincloth. When he
removed his hand from the pouch, he held within his grasp two objects. One

The Philosophy of Sherlock Holmes

Arguably the most famous and recognized detective in history, Sherlock Holmes is considered by many to be the first pop icon of the modern age. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional detective has stood as a unique figure for more than a century with his reliance on logical rigor, his analytic precision, and his disregard of social mores. A true classic, the Sherlock Holmes character continues to entertain twenty-first-century audiences on the page, stage, and screen. In The Philosophy of Sherlock Holmes, a team of leading scholars use the beloved character as a window into the quandaries of existence, from questions of reality to the search for knowledge. The essays explore the sleuth's role in revealing some of the world's most fundamental philosophical issues, discussing subjects such as the nature of deception, the lessons enemies can teach us, Holmes's own potential for criminality, and the detective's unique but effective style of inductive reasoning. Emphasizing the philosophical debates raised by generations of devoted fans, this intriguing volume will be of interest to philosophers and Holmes enthusiasts alike.

The “Great Hiatus” is the term used by Holmes scholars to refer to the period of
time between Holmes's tumble off of Reichenbach Falls in the “Adventure of the
Final Problem” and his resurfacing three years later (in the chronology of Doyle's
stories) in “The Adventure of the Empty House.” During those three years,
Holmes was presumed dead and had gone deep undercover to trap all of
Moriarty's lieutenants. By the end of that story, he had succeeded in arresting the
last member of ...
