This essay responds to questions raised by the…

Farewell to Hassan Hanafi, the Intellectual Father of the Islamic Left and Occidentalism
Farewell to Hassan Hanafi, the Intellectual Father of the Islamic Left and Occidentalism Hassan Hanafi (1935-2021) was one of the big names of contemporary Arab philosophical and theological studies.

The most we can do to be balanced in our views is to control both the personal and the political,…
