On the Collapse of Reason and the Fracturing of Memory (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Voltaire attributed to the French philosopher Nicolas Malebranche the phrase "the imagination is the madwoman of the house" (meaning the madwoman of the soul), to emphasize the importance of reason in seventeenth-century classical thought and eighteenth-century Enlightenment philosophy, which later extended into the modern era. However, the tragic collective experiences of the twentieth century and the present one do not suggest that the collective mind is in any better shape than the imaginatio
Parisian Dialogue (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Read excerpt
It takes insight, a cool head, and a clear vision to penetrate Lebanon's obscurity. The Iranian axis in Lebanon increasingly borrows from the narrative Lebanese national project to describe itself despite the sharp contradiction between their positions, invoking slogans such as "sovereignty,independent decision-making," and "freedom from foreign dependence."
