- Summary:
- This collection of essays reflect the prolific philosopher David Kuhrt?s prescient thesis that subjectivity can be bypassed, thereby exploding the myth of positivist philosophy. In bypassing intuition with abstract ideas, ?science,? as we have described it, has informed the notion of Western imperialism in the Middle East, from the dogmatic Christianity of the medieval Papacy through transnational corporate investment today. Kuhrt argues that Western intellect and abstract truths still prevail at the expense of practicality, negotiation, and face-to-face meetings. By supporting militant Israeli nationalism, the philosophical foundations of conflict and nationhood refuse all discourse with neighboring Muslim peoples.
