My dear brother, Seyed Javad Miri, had a new book coming out. Before it hits bookstores, it can be bought via Lulu. #philosophy #sociology #islam #iran #middleeast #politics #politicaltheory #politicalscience #psychology #colonialism #decolonialism #imperialism lulu.com/shop/seyed-javad-miri

LuluTowards EmancipationTowards Emancipation: Decoloniality and Critical Social Theory in the Primordial School of Thought presents a rigorous exploration of non-Western intellectual traditions and their potential to reshape the contours of contemporary social theory. Seyed Javad Miri interrogates the contributions of seminal thinkers such as Allama Tabatabai, Ali Shariati, Imam Musa Sadr, and Syed Hussein Alatas, whose ideas, though rooted in specific cultural and historical contexts, transcend their origins to offer universally relevant insights into modernity, social ontology, and the intricate dynamics of human agency. In this scholarly work, Miri engages with the central tenets of decolonial theory, critically assessing the lingering influence of Eurocentric epistemologies and social structures, and articulates the enduring relevance of these frameworks in challenging the intellectual legacy of colonialism.

Early Modern Diplomacy

@FAU @womenknowhistory @histodons @earlymodern

In a first step, Félicité looks into contemporary theory on the right of legation that was closely linked to debates on sovereignty, thereby discussing authors such as Jean Bodin and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz. While in theory the right of legation was linked to sovereign power, there were a lot of actors who did not have full sovereignty according to theory, but who clearly acted diplomatically. (3/5)

Ok, we're at #Weber's concept of #patrimonialism, we don't need to go to #Arendt's #totalitarianism (yet) to analyse the #UZA. That's good, ain't it?

"In its governmental guise, patrimonialism is distinguished by running the state as if it were the leader’s personal property or family business. It can be found in many countries, but its main contemporary exponent—at least until January 20, 2025—has been Vladimir Putin."

1/2 "Both the division of labor and the length of the working day make it impossible to think or learn anything new. Workers become intellectually dull and physically debauched. The division of labor makes workers able to perform one task only and leaves them incapable—or even worse—indifferent to doing anything else."

@sz_duras The current political spectrum overlooks #anarchism, focusing solely on statist parties. Even the #farleft remains within this framework, weakening its strategic position. #Anarchists, the only ones challenging the state's institutional monopoly, are rendered invisible. It's time to revise this spectrum to include these #libertarian perspectives, often mistaken for general #abstention. Let's rethink our political vision for a more accurate and complete representation! #PoliticalTheory

The deep historical forces that explain Trump’s win
Our research shows that political breakdown, from the Roman Empire to the Russian revolution, follows a clear pattern: workers’ wages stagnate, while elites multiply
