Brain and Being

At the Boundary Between Science, Philosophy, Language and Arts

This book results from a group meeting held at the Institute for Scientific Exchange in Torino, Italy. The central aim was for scientists to “think together” in new ways with those in the humanities inspired by quantum theory and especially quantum brain theory. These fields of inquiry have suffered conceptual estrangement but now are ripe for rapprochement, if academic parochialism is put aside. A prevalent theme of the book is a moving away from individual elements and individual actors acting upon each other, toward a coordinate hermeneutic dynamics that manifests as a coherent totality. Among the topics covered are image in photography and in neuroscience; language; time; brain and mathematics; quantum brain dynamics and quantum communication.

This is a highly topical and important study which gives a progressive outlook for Islam's role in modern politics and society.

However, thousands of items are listed when “violence and Islam” are the search
words.5 Scholarly interest in researching Islamic theories of peacebuilding also
stems from the recent significant expansions in the study of religion and peace.
Scholars and practitioners in peace studies and conflict resolution have begun
exploring the role of religion in shaping the theory and practice of their field.6
This new wave of research aims to shift the focus away from religion as the cause

Human Rights in the Indian Context

While other beings obey God's law through necessity, human beings do so freely.
Hence there is no compulsion in religion." (2,256). The rights of the community
strictly derive from the shari'a (supposedly divine law). Allah alone possesses
and has given to man, his representative on earth, the responsibility of managing
this property in Allah's way. Property is, therefore, a discretionary, not absolute,
right. The owners cannot squander their property nor allow it to lie idle, nor
