In ''The Quest for Meaning: Developing a Philosophy
of Pluralism'', Tariq Ramadan embarks on a journey to
uncover the profound truths that bind us together. In a
world so full of different beliefs and viewpoints, how
can we find peace in our shared humanity? Acclaimed
thinker and philosopher Tariq Ramadan explores universal
ideas such as love, respect, truth and tolerance, and
examines questions such as how can men and women relate
to each other? What is the true nature of equality? What
does 'civilization' really mean? In doing so, he opens
our minds to a new view of humanity. Whether we are
Christian or Buddhist, Jewish or Muslim, secularist or
believer, he reveals that all traditions of thought
spring from the same place, and guides us to see past
what divides us and discover the beauty of what we have
in common. This book has resonance for all of us,
showing why, eventually, all different spiritual paths
lead to the human heart. ''A prophetic, passionate and
insightful book''. (Karen Armstrong, ''Financial
Times''). Tariq Ramadan is Professor of Contemporary
Islamic Studies at the Faculty of Oriental Studies and
St Antony's College (University of Oxford).He is the
Director of the Centre for Islamic Legislation and
Ethics (Doha). He is the author of ''The Quest for
Meaning'' and ''The Messenger'', and has been described
as one of the 'most important innovators for the
twenty-first century' by ''Time'' magazine. |
