The quest after shared intuitions of Occidental and Islamic spirit yields a rare panorama of human cultural inheritance.
This unique collection of studies, plunging into the spring of human existence, reveals the spiritual source common to the Occidental as well as the Islamic cultures.
In the present times of conflicts in the world, the sharing of originary affinities calls for human fraternity.
A world ever more extensively interlinked is calling out for serving human interests broader and more compelling than those inspiring our technological welfare. The interface between cultures – at the moment especially between the Occident and Islam – presents challenges to mutual understandings and calls for restoring the resources of our human beings forgotten in the struggle of competition and rivalry at the vital spheres of existence. In the evolutionary progress of the living beings the strictly vital concerns, emotions, attributes become sublimed and elevated to the spiritual sphere at which human beings encounter each other and share. Studies presented here bring forth sublimity, generosity, forgiveness, beauty, and are exalting the quest after ciphers and symbols which lead to our sharing the common deepest stream of fraternal reality.

This unique collection of studies reveals the spiritual source common to the Occidental as well as the Islamic cultures. In seeking out the shared intuitions of Occidental and Islamic spirit, the book yields a rare panorama of human cultural inheritance.
A world ever more extensively interlinked is calling out for serving human interests broader and more compelling than those inspiring our technological welfare. The interface between cultures - at the moment especially between the Occident and Islam - presents challenges to mutual understandings and calls for restoring the resources of our human beings forgotten in the struggle of competition and rivalry at the vital spheres of existence.

Klappentext
A world ever more extensively interlinked is calling out for serving human interests broader and more compelling than those inspiring our technological welfare. The interface between cultures - at the moment especially between the Occident and Islam - presents challenges to mutual understandings and calls for restoring the resources of our human beings forgotten in the struggle of competition and rivalry at the vital spheres of existence. In the evolutionary progress of the living beings the strictly vital concerns, emotions, attributes become sublimed and elevated to the spiritual sphere at which human beings encounter each other and share. Studies presented here bring forth sublimity, generosity, forgiveness, beauty, and are exalting the quest after ciphers and symbols which lead to our sharing the common deepest stream of fraternal reality.
The quest after shared intuitions of Occidental and Islamic spirit yields a rare panorama of human cultural inheritance.
This unique collection of studies, plunging into the spring of human existence, reveals the spiritual source common to the Occidental as well as the Islamic cultures.
In the present times of conflicts in the world, the sharing of originary affinities calls for human fraternity.
