Dealing with the controversies over the reality of the external world, this work offers a defense of realism, a critique of various forms of contemporary anti-realism, and a sketch of the author's version of realism, namely hylorealism. It examines the main varieties of antirealism and argues that all of these in fact hinder scientific research.

This is the first study to compare the philosophical systems of secular scientific philosopher Mario Bunge (1919-2020), and Moroccan Islamic philosopher Taha Abd al-Rahman (b.1945). In their efforts to establish the philosophical underpinnings of an ideal modernity these two great thinkers speak to the same elements of the human condition, despite their opposing secular and religious worldviews. While the differences between Bunge’s critical-realist epistemology and materialist ontology on the one hand, and Taha’s spiritualist ontology and revelational-mystical epistemology on the other, are fundamental, there is remarkable common ground between their scientific and Islamic versions of humanism. Both call for an ethics of prosperity combined with social justice, and both criticize postmodernism and religious conservatism. The aspiration of this book is to serve as a model for future dialogue between holders of Western and Islamic worldviews, in mutual pursuit of modernity’s best-case scenario.

Like the best true life adventures, the story of Werner Pelz is stranger than fiction. Forced to flee Nazi Germany for being Jewish, he was then interned in England for being German. Shipped to Australia on the notorious HMT Dunera, he spent two years in internment camps in Hay and Tatura. After returning to Britain, his life evolved into a spiritual quest that led him to become an Anglican vicar, to author popular books (including God Is No More), to frequently appear on the BBC, and to become a Guardian columnist. Decades after his wartime Australian exile, he returned to teach Sociology at La Trobe University, continuing his search for a new way of thinking, a new mythology. In the mid-1980s, a young university student, Roger Averill, was taught by this quietly charismatic man. The two developed an unlikely friendship, one that was to last until Werner’s death, after which Roger’s research unexpectedly revealed a deeper dimension —a personal life filled with familial drama, pain and poignancy. Both memoir and biography, Exile: The Lives and Hopes of Werner Pelz is a compelling account of a remarkable man’s life-long search for a truth unbound by orthodoxy.

Not many people are satisfied with the leaders we have in the public and private sectors. We are suffering from a severe lack of good leadershipeven though billions of dollars per year are spent on leadership training and development. The root cause of this leadership vacuum is that leadership gurus firmly believe, teach, and preach that anyone can be made into a leader with the right training, personal desire, and commitment. With this premise, theyve approached leadership as a commonplace and elementary skill that anyone can learn. Theres just one problem: theyre wrong. In this guidebook on leadership, youll learn about all aspects of leadership, including: how to look past personality profiles, leadership models, and traditional assessment tools to grasp what makes a great leader; how to identify and select natural born leaders to achieve your objectives; how to deal with poor leaders who hurt you and your organization. Leadership DNA examines the false premise that anyone can be a leader and provides insights and tools that lead to a better system of identifying, selecting, and developing born leaders.

The Sun in my Palm is a collection of poems born from the depths of contemplation and introspection. The poems explore the ineffable connections that bind souls together,transcending the physical and touching the sublime. Nestled within these verses is anundercurrent of detachment, recognition that the true nature of reality often eludes us when we cling too tightly to the ephemeral. It is within this detachment that the essence of truth begins to reveal itself, like a hidden gem awaiting discovery. The spirituality permeating the poems is not bound by dogma or doctrine, but a transcendent exploration of the connection between the self and the universe.The title encapsulates the radiant core of what lies within. Poetry is our miniature sun- asource of warmth, illumination, and energy within our reach. In the palm of our hands, we hold the capacity to create and experience worlds, emotions, and epiphanies.
