Abstract:
As a manner of introduction, the editor of the book under review gives the background to Islam Hadhari or Civilisational Islam, essentially a comprehensive blueprint for progress postulated by the then Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato’ Seri (now Tun) Abdullah Ahmad Badawi in the 2004 National Front Manifesto. In “Civilizational Dialogue and the Islamic World”, Seyyed Hossein Nasr traces the Greek, Sanskrit, and Latin Christian origins of the word ‘civilisation’. He speaks of the “Presiding Idea”, or “heavenly-given dispensation” that underlies all traditional civilisations, and attributes the decline of Islamic civilisation from the eighteenth century onward partly to colonisation and partly to the (erroneous) efforts of the Muslims themselves to uncritically emulate the West. Islamic civilisation, he concludes, is still best suited for inter-civilisational dialogue, occupying as it does the globe’s “middle belt”.

Abstract:
The main aim of this article is to discuss the meaning and characteristics of Islamic civilisation and its global presence, particularly in the field of knowledge culture. Since both terms have been contested in contemporary scholarship to the point of their critics denying epistemic legitimacy to the concept of Islamic civilisation itself, the article devotes a lengthy discussion to defending its continuing validity and legitimacy. The most serious challenge comes from the concept of world-system developed by a number of Western thinkers, especially Immanuel Wallerstein. The article also explains the meaning of a civilisation’s global presence, which it argues exists at three different levels, namely territorial presence, cultural presence, and intellectual-spiritual presence. It argues that in the case of Islamic civilisation, its global presence exists at all the three levels. Since knowledge culture is presented as the very heart of Islamic civilisation given the fact that Islam claims to be the religion of knowledge, the article provides an introductory discussion of some important aspects of knowledge culture originating from Islamic civilisation that have become accepted through the West as integral parts of our common modern civilisation. The article concludes with suggestions for further studies and research on the theme of Islamic civilisation’s global presence but from new perspectives in the light of new realities in intercultural and inter-civilisational relations.

Abstract:
Privatisation of higher education is a global trend. There is an increasing demand for higher education due to the nature of work and economy today, and public universities and colleges cannot meet the demand with their limited financial resources from the government. Private higher education institutions (PHEI) seem to be the most attractive alternative to public universities and colleges in opening greater access to higher education. Malaysia is no exception, having about 25 private universities, 22 private university colleges and 410 private colleges and institutes. About a fourth of these PHEIs are Islamic institutions going by the name of the institutions or their ownership. However, private higher education institutions have their own issues and challenges. The most serious of them are preserving the philosophical goal of a balanced and integrated education despite market demands and sustaining its operation financially amidst a competitive environment. Yet, there are several opportunities for Islamic PHEIs especially in terms of international collaboration and exchanges. This article is an attempt to examine these issues and challenges or opportunities. The Muslim world’s significant contribution to the development of world civilisation deserves further investigation. History’s leading Muslim empires all assumed momentous responsibilities in adapting Islamic civilisation to changing times. The author argues that researching and studying the input of their intelligentsias and elites would be a necessary requirement for any Islamic ‘renaissance’. Western civilisation, often presented as the only civilisation that has enabled the world to progress, ignores the contributions of all other civilisations. This article underlines the significance of Islamic civilisation by exploring the Muslims’ reawakening process and humanity’s need for a new world system, one that reflects Islamic civilisation’s understanding and practice of ontological freedom, security, and human rights.

Full text
Abstract:
The article presents the hypothesis that a normal level (e.g., optimal, reasonable, or suitable amount) of crime is an empirically measurable variable. Adequate assessment of crime in a specific civilisation is possible via comparison of crime across different civilisations. To this end, key elements for a cultural-civilisational approach, distinct from ‘cultural criminology’, are presented. In this approach, crime is an inevitable part of cultural phenomena, wherefore the definitions of crimes, punishments, and their execution manifest value specificities of individual cultures (civilisations). Three characteristics related to criminal careers – the ‘gender gap’, the ‘age–crime curve’, and a ‘dual taxonomy’, identified regularly by various studies are reviewed and interpreted anew.

Abstract:
Abstract: This research article examines the comparative perspectives of Ibn Khaldun and Oswald Spengler regarding the progression of history and the advancement of civilisations. This article aims to argue that Ibn Khaldun and Oswald Spengler shared a similar perspective on the progression and decline of nations and civilisations. At the same time, they had different perspectives as they lived in distinct historical periods. The study posits that their perspectives on history, society and civilisation are characterised by a reduced level of subjectivity and a greater emphasis on rationality. The analysis reveals that despite their shared cyclical historical patterns, there exist notable disparities on the mechanisms behind the growth of civilisations and the conceptualisation of civilisation’s lifespan. The interpretations and definitions of history and civilisation put forward by Ibn Khaldun and Oswald Spengler have had a profound impact on the field of human sciences, fostering notable advancements. To attain a high level of accuracy, this study uses qualitative research techniques as a means to accomplish its aims. Ibn Khaldun and Oswald Spengler possessed a comprehensive perspective of culture and history and the processes through which history unfolds. When discussing history, individuals tend to adopt a particular perspective and contemplate on the various facets of the subject matter. A comprehensive examination is warranted to enhance comprehension of their theoretical framework and grasp of the aforementioned topic..

Abstract:
In the paper, the problem of the relationship between culture and civilisation, is studied. Civilisation is understood as the external expression of culture, while culture represents the content of civilisation. The relationships between culture and civilisation are always tense. The author also considers civilisation as the death of culture. The fear of the individual, the subjectivity ultimately results from the fact that humanity can no longer survive being soulless, only in the form of rationally determined civilisation. It is shown that modern civilisations suffer from the discrepancy between the increasing speed of the movement of communities towards a unified globalised humanity – a movement that is partly carried out with the help of technical progress that puts society and people into one orbit and transforms a human being into an objective, a controllable component – and the level of understanding the nature of this movement.

Abstract:
This article presents the view on the concept of civilization of the Krakow historian and publicist, Feliks Koneczny. The author believed that all historical facts should be explained in the context of its civilisational background. However, he emphasised that man was created to live in a group, but only in one, because one cannot be “civilised” for these two particular communities; to call them a civilisation, and why did some civilisations fight each other. Feliks Koneczny has been looking for answers to these questions for years. The paper demonstrates and explains his scientific scrutiny.

The new form of human civilisation is a great creation of socialism with Chinese characteristics and a major civilisational innovation in the path of modernisation led by the Chinese Communist Party. The new form of civilisation of socialism with Chinese characteristics is a milestone on the road to national rejuvenation, the revival of Chinese civilisation in the new era of China, and a new form of civilisation striving to achieve communism. Its emergence and development is a major innovation of scientific socialism, marking the powerful vitality of scientific socialism in China in the 21st century.

Full text
Abstract:
Le droit pénal et le droit civil étaient à l'origine très proches : procès peu différenciés, confusion entre peine et indemnisation. Toutefois, au fil du temps, leurs objectifs et leurs enjeux se sont nettement distingués entraînant par là même une différence dans les règles qu'ils mettent en œuvre. Cette distinction a été accrue par le phénomène d'autonomie du droit pénal : ce dernier a forgé ses propres règles, inconnues des autres droits, et a développé sa propre conception des concepts extra-pénaux. Aujourd'hui, l'étude de la législation et de la jurisprudence civiles et pénales montre que ces deux branches du Droit se sont à nouveau rapprochées, le droit pénal adoptant certains des concepts, règles, solutions et procédures du droit civil. L'étude de "la civilisation du droit pénal" a ainsi pour objectif de montrer que le droit pénal se civilise, c'est à dire se rapproche du droit civil, et d'en exposer et expliquer les nombreuses manifestations.

Allain, Ariane. "La sculpture dans la civilisation de Teotihuacan." Paris 1, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA010517.

Full text
Abstract:
Teotihuacan occupe, à l'époque classique, une position essentielle dans le Bassin de Mexico et au-delà. Or, en dépit des très nombreuses recherches dont le site a fait l'objet depuis la fin du XIXe siècle, il n'existe aucune étude systématique du matériel sculpté mis au jour dans cette métropole. Le présent travail a consisté d'abord à établir un corpus aussi exhaustif que possible de la sculpture produite à Teotihuacan. Les pièces inférieures à 25 cm de hauteur, les masques et les objets sculptés en obsidienne en ont été toutefois exclus, car ils représentent des catégories d'art lapidaire de forme et de fonction apparemment distinctes des autres sculptures. Le corpus constitué comporte 322 fiches qui correspondent à un total de 866 sculptures. C'est cet ensemble d'œuvres qui a été soumis à des analyses iconographique, stylistique et de distribution spatiale. De la recherche effectuée il ressort que la sculpture a été relativement peu abondante à Teotihuacan, en particulier par rapport à la peinture murale. Les images zoomorphes et les représentations à caractère symbolique occupent une place importante ; les figures anthropomorphes sont également présentes, mais il s'agit d'image dépersonnalisée. En réalité, il est possible de distinguer deux grandes familles de sculptures : les unes ont décoré des édifices publics, tandis que les autres se trouvent plutôt dans des contextes résidentiels. Il existe cependant au moins une classe d'objet (les représentations du Vieux Dieu) que l'on rencontre aussi bien dans la zone cérémonielle que dans les secteurs d'habitation. L'analyse des données a finalement permis de déceler l'existence d'un changement sculptural, qui interviendrait aux alentours de 200 apr. J-C. ; ce changement se traduit autant dans les motifs représentés que dans le style des sculptures.

Abstract:
Cette these analyse les merites du long poeme sur les amerindiens de henry wadsworth longfellow dans un cadre pluridisciplinaire. Elle fait une lecture approfondie du "chant de hiawatha" pour montrer comment on peut se livrer a une etude des traits essentiels de la civilisation amerindienne a partir des reperes culturo-historiques incorpores par longfellow dans sa synthese du folklore ojibwa. Elle propose que le poeme est un temoignage, une tentative sincere de saisir l'esprit de la nature indienne et de representer l'evolution culturelle de la race
This thesis analyzes the merits of the long poem about american indians written by henry wadsworth longfellow from an interdisciplinary approach. It conducts an in-depth reading of "the song of hiawatha" in order to prove how the cultural and historic details included by longfellow in his synthesis of ojibwa folklore enable one to study key points of native american civilization through the work. It suggests therefore that the poem is a testimony, a sincere attempt to describe the indian spirit and to show the cultural evolution of the race

Penaskovic, Richard. "M FETHULLAH GÜLEN’S RESPONSE TO THE “CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS” THESIS." In Muslim World in Transition: Contributions of the Gülen Movement. Leeds Metropolitan University Press, 2007. http://dx.doi.org/10.55207/bteg9200.

Full text
Abstract:
Part I contains an exposition of Sam Huntington’s thesis about the clash of civilisations ac- cording to Gülen. Huntington’s writings are far from being realistic evaluations regarding the future. Rather, they are more like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Gülen argues that by creat- ing new enemy fronts, Huntington actually sows the seeds for a clash of civilisations on the basis of religious and cultural differences. Part II looks at Gulen’s response to Huntington’s thesis and has three parts: tolerance, interfaith dialogue, and compassionate love. Tolerance means closing our minds to the faults of others, respecting ideas with which we disagree, and when attacked verbally, responding with mildness or as the Qur’an says, with ‘gentle words.’ Interfaith dialogue involves stressing the commonalities between the world religions, rather than past polemics and historical differences. In regard to compassionate love Gülen calls the universe a symphony of compassion because without compassion everything is in chaos. Souls filled with love are in Gülen’s view, the greatest heroes in the cosmos. The way of love is the way of the prophets. Part III contains my own views on the clash of civilisations. Written in the spirit of Gülen, I argue that in contradistinction to Huntington, the Muslim world is not monolithic, that many of the past wars and clashes were within the same civilisa- tion, and that the real clash is between extremists of all types and moderates within the same culture or civilisation. I also highlight the ecumenical message of Islam, namely, that all religion deserve respect and courtesy, that followers of different religious traditions should compete with one another in piety, and that the rope that links us to God also links us to one another (Qur’an 3:103).

Abstract:
Arghyam, which started as a funding organization, has evolved into being an influential voice in the water ecosystem. In the present (2022), it works with a network of organizations on water security solutions across the country. Through exploring Arghyam’s shifts in its strategic approach, the case study engages with the challenges of dealing with the complexity of the water sector in India and what it takes for philanthropy to sustain commitment to a singular cause. Arghyam’s most recent pivot commenced in 2018, when it decided to focus on supporting strategic levers of scale that could significantly benefit from digital technology use. This pivot was based on its past experience but nonetheless required realignment within the organization with new modes of engagement, enhanced operational capabilities and talent requirements. While Arghyam recognises the need for strengthening scalable solutions, organizationally it continues to remain compact and lean. This case study shows that the most complex of problems do not necessarily demand the biggest of organizational resources: it requires thoughtful and timely deployment of limited resources. This demands a level of intentionality and strategic agility that can test the mettle of any organization, least of all a philanthropic one.

Abstract:
Water, recognised by United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 6, is essential to sustain all life. It intersects with various aspects of our civilisation, heritage, health, and survival. In this project, we developed pedagogical tools using place-based, multidisciplinary, imaginal, and interactive content for middle school students. The expected outcome of this pedagogy is to equip students with knowledge and core competencies such as critical transdisciplinary analysis, systems thinking, and collaborative decision-making that are essential to reimagine just, resilient, and equitable water futures. We called this curriculum the “Water Classrooms”. The core partners in this work included Living Waters Museum, Centre for Water Research, Science Activity Centre at Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER Pune), and the Centre for Environment Education (Pune).

Abstract:
The Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation presents Professor Robin Hahnel’s mέta Working Paper entitled Participatory Planning (accessible here), part of the “Towards (a Better) Postcapitalism: A Handy How-To Guide” series under “Allocation.” mέta Working Papers’ series “Towards (a Better) Postcapitalism: A Handy How-To Guide” publishes solicited policy papers on aspects of how would a non-dystopian postcapitalism look like. The series focuses on three ‘pillars’: Production | Allocation | Decision-making i.e., how could/would postcapitalist production be like (and who would own the means of production), what shape would the allocation of goods take (and which alternatives to the market economy may be explored), and what would be the main tenets of postcapitalist democracy. In this paper, Professor Robin Hahnel addresses the second pillar, ‘allocation’, as participatory planning.

Perdigão, Rui A. P. Beyond Quantum Security with Emerging Pathways in Information Physics and Complexity. Synergistic Manifolds, June 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.46337/220602.

Abstract:
Information security and associated vulnerabilities have long been a pressing challenge, from the fundamental scientific backstage to the frontline across the most diverse sectors of society. At the tip of the iceberg of this problem, the citizens immediately feel that the reservation of privacy and the degradation of the quality and security of the information and communication on which they depend for the day-to-day activities, already of crucial relevance, are at stake. Naturally though, the challenges do not end there. There is a whole infrastructure for storing information, processing and communication, whose security and reliability depend on key sectors gearing modern society – such as emergency communication systems (medical, civil and environmental protection, among others), transportation and geographic information, the financial communications systems at the backbone of day-to-day transactions, the information and telecommunications systems in general. And crucially the entire defence ecosystem that in essence is a stalwart in preventing our civilisation to self-annihilate in full fulfilment of the second principle of thermodynamics. The relevance of the problem further encompasses the preservation of crucial values such as the right to information, security and integrity of democratic processes, internal administration, justice, defence and sovereignty, ranging from the well-being of the citizen to the security of the nation and beyond. In the present communication, we take a look at how to scientifically and technically empower society to address these challenges, with the hope and pragmatism enabled by our emerging pathways in information physics and complexity. Edging beyond classical and quantum frontiers and their vulnerabilities to unveil new principles, methodologies and technologies at the core of the next generation system dynamic intelligence and security. To illustrate the concepts and tools, rather than going down the road of engineered systems that we can ultimately control, we take aim at the bewildering complexity of nature, deciphering new secrets in the mathematical codex underlying its complex coevolutionary phenomena that so heavily impact our lives, and ultimately bringing out novel insights, methods and technologies that propel information physics and security beyond quantum frontiers.

Yilmaz, Ihsan, and Kainat Shakil. Manufacturing Civilisational Crises: Instrumentalisation of Anti-Western Conspiracy Theories for Populist Authoritarian Resilience in Turkey and Pakistan. European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS), August 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.55271/pp0014.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper looks at the importance of ‘crisis events’ used by leaders employing populist civilisational populism in Muslim democracies. While populism is widely acknowledged and studied as part of early twentieth century political developments, various aspects remain unexplored. One feature is how populists make use of a crisis. While populists do benefit from social and political rifts, this paper goes a step further and argues that civilisationalist populists create imaginary and exaggerated ‘crises’ to sustain and prolong their relevance/position in power as well as justify their undemocratic actions. Using the case studies of Turkey (Recep Tayyip Erdogan) and Pakistan (Imran Khan) allows for a comparison to be drawn between two different leaders seeking to maintain power by using their position to either create civilizationalist crises or to frame ordinary crises as civilisational. The findings highlight that despite different political scenarios and outcomes, both these populist leaders gained political support by creating crises. We find that in most cases, populists exaggerate pre-existing insecurities and events to their benefit. The overblown claims and conspiratorial scenarios aid populists in creating a niche for their narratives by reaffirming their populist categorisation of societies. At the same time, the findings bring forth the troubling issues of the social-political cost of these Islamist civilisationalist populists.

Miksic, John N., and Geok Yian Goh. The Empress Place (EMP) Site: A Preliminary Report. NUS Press, February 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.56159/sitereport11.

Full text
Abstract:
An archaeological site report of an excavation of the Empress Place site in Singapore. Empress Place was the fourth site excavated in Singapore, and the first and so far the only ancient site located directly on the Singapore River’s bank. The opportunity to investigate this site arose when it was decided to convert the Empress Place Building into a permanent Asian Civilisations Museum under the National Heritage Board. The project began in January 1998, during the rainy season and the excavation was completed in May the same year. Empress Place was occupied during the 14th through 16th centuries CE. A wide variety of Chinese porcelain from the Ming Dynasty is quite plentiful at Empress Place. This is significant in view of the rarity of Chinese porcelain from the 15th century CE outside of China. Artifacts from Vietnam, Thailand, Java, Borneo, the Philippines, China, and Persia are consistent with the description of EMP as a site where goods from much of maritime Asia were loaded, unloaded, and transhipped.
