The Arabic article titled “Cosmic Nexus Between Political and Ethical” discusses the views of two distinguished scholars, Professor Abdulkhakim Ahmine and Taha Abdelrahman. The conversation reflects on the questions posed by Professor Halak, asking for opinions and reactions from both Professor Ahmine and Professor Abdelrahman regarding similar topics. The article delves into the dynamics of their perspectives and criticism of post-modernity and its implications on the state.
The article points out the scholars’ positions on critiquing post-modernity in the context of the state and their apparent lack of engagement in reforming their respective countries. It highlights the disconnect between their verbal criticism and their passive acceptance and contentment with the governing authorities.
The writer emphasizes the need for actions to align with rhetoric, highlighting the surface-level, imported criticism without corresponding tangible actions. The article questions the dichotomy between eras representing ethical and unethical values, pointing out the historical continuity of ethical thinkers across both Eastern and Western civilizations.
It goes on to analyze the fundamental error in conflating the logic of political elites with the logic of subjugated communities, advocating for genuine ethical considerations in political actions. Underlying this discourse is the assertion that throughout history, communities gravitate towards a shared human solidarity, gradually transcending divisive, ethnocentric tendencies.
The article also discusses the post-flood realization of Western youth and intellectual elites, recognizing the similarities between their own challenges and those faced by the Third World. It reflects on the intertwining forces of power and influence, reminiscent of the narrative of manipulation and adversity faced by both Muslim and non-Muslim communities, drawing parallels between the economic and media-driven stardom in both public and privileged spheres.
In closing, the author underlines the necessity of actions reflecting the values ostensibly advocated in rhetoric, addressing the prevalent hypocrisy stemming from self-interest and the disingenuous defense of moral values, both within privileged and general populations.
