more books in #covid19times Mouchir Basile Aoun, Professor of Philosophy @LebaneseUni wrote this work around a decade ago on the problematic reception of #Heidegger in #ContemporaryArabThought 1/

Aoun discusses the book in this short video on the ontological problematic
#ContemporaryArabThought 2/

and here is another discussion on it lescahiersdelislam.fr/Heidegger-et-l… #ContemporaryArabThought 3/

Here is the Harmattan page on the book editions-harmattan.fr/index.asp?navi… 4/

Aoun has written extensively on the Arab #Heidegger as well as Heideggerian reflections on #ChristianTheology such as this book on Paul Khoury (b. 1921) editions-harmattan.fr/index.asp?navi… 5/

Khoury himself had studied at #Gregorian in Rome and in #Paris with #Ricoeur and #MerleauPonty and his first work was an expanded article on the polemics of #JohnofDamascus against #Islam persee.fr/doc/rhpr_0035-… 6/

Khoury wrote on the possibilities as well as the limitations of #ChristianMuslim dialogue and here is a page with listings of his works jkhoury.free.fr/pkhoury/pk_fr.… 7/

Many of Khoury's works are also published by Harmattan here editions-harmattan.fr/index.asp?navi… 8/

Just also came across this work that I've ordered on #ContemporaryArabThought with a focus on the political books.google.co.uk/books?id=MS3JD… by Georges Corm Professor #USJ and former Lebanese Finance Minister 9/

Nader el-Bizri from @AUB_Lebanon has written on the Lebanese context focusing on the work of Charles Malik (1906-87) who studied with #Heidegger in 1930s while PhD student @Harvard with #ANWhitehead and represents an early reception of #SeinundZeit academia.edu/39184765/_Leva… 10/

Nader is currently writing a book on Malik and collaborating with Sylvain Camilleri @UCLouvain_be on a wider project on the reception of #Heidegger 11/

Incidentally Charles Malik's papers are available @librarycongress loc.gov/item/mm8105833… 12/

I've always thought of Malik as an existentialist who was very much on the right - here is a piece on his critique of #orientalism cambridge.org/core/journals/… 13/

that is the classic problem - how we read #Heidegger in post #BlackNotebooks times especially - how can one make sense of the reception in the #Islamicate world without studying a bunch of reactionary right-wing thinkers - is the #islamicateHeidegger necessarily a fascist? 14/

a piece on the #BlackNotebooks in @guardian theguardian.com/books/2014/mar… on their publication 15/

One still gets the impression that the reception of #Heidegger in Arab contexts is still quite unlike the Turkish and the Iranian as this recent book suggests rowmaninternational.com/book/heidegger… #IslamicateHeidegger 16/

Aoun has other works on #ContemporaryArabThought here editions-harmattan.fr/index.asp?navi… 17/

Here he is on the notion of the promised land and in #theological mode onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… 18/

His most recent work on #ChristArabe editionsducerf.fr/librairie/livr… looks like a promising intervention on #ArabChristianTheology within an interfaith context 19/

but that is for someone else - my interest is #ContemporaryArabThought as a context for #ContemporaryIslamicPhilosophy and the reception of #EuropeanPhilosophy 20/
