Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 тра 2024
- Al-Mawardi (c.974-1058) can be considered pretty much the Islamic world’s counterpart to the Italian Florentine writer Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527), as an important figure & writer with regards to theory about politics & the ideals of government. This video aims to talk briefly about ʻAlī ibn Muḥammad ibn Ḥabīb al-Māwardī & his importance for developing theory regarding Islamic rulership & politics & touches upon his importance for the development of modern political Islam & Islamism.

nice bro very well done
I am glad you liked it!👍
Another cool video! Would be interesting to see a video on the fall of the golden age of Islam, a deep dive on the players and ideologies behind it, like Caspian Report's "Rise and decline of science in Islam".
Do you know of Nabi Asli YT's channel, on the history of the Quran texts? What's your take on it?
👍
I have something like that planed regarding the golden age of Islam (though it is still only on the drawing board stage)! I might also make a video where I argue the issues in defining the Golden age as well as you could argue that the early and middle Ottoman times also had similar achievements and you also had similar developments during the Umayyad period. Then there is the entire issue of using terms such as "Dark" and "Golden" to describe time periods, which there is a large debate about generally in history.
Also, I have not seen that channel and video, but I might look it up.
thanks a lot for sharing these gems.
It is my pleasure!👍
I love your videos!
👍 And I appreciate your appreciation!
More about him and Nizam al-Mulk, and the Ayubid schools
👍I will write those things on my to-do-video list.
@@theculturedjinni looking forward to it.
Ends justify means. I don't think this concept is uniquely human, but our fixation on the question certainly is . Great video, thank you.
👍 I am glad you thought the video was great! I think the idea of means and ends to achieve through them and the entire concept about limits and when to not have these limits is very human as these concepts seem to be unique to us as a species, though I could of course be wrong as biology is not my strong suit.
@@theculturedjinni Yes, I think so too.
Super interesting video
👍 I am glad you found it interesting.
Brother please make a discord for you lol
I might make a discord server for myself in the future. Right now I have full time work IRL and this channel to care for. But, good idea!👍
@@theculturedjinni ur video, the way u do things & compare. Dude ur an absolute genius. U provide so much help. This content needs to be organized & given to a much larger audience. We need an age of “enlightenment” & it todays day & age won’t take as long, but we couldn’t accept values of Machiavelli or all of Nietzsche prior. Maybe this is the solution. Maybe the persians or Germanic caliphate rule are only solution Maybe our generation is the solution. I don’t know. I do believe that Arabs can’t offer much anymore & I don’t trust the ottomons. It’s a difficult situation we are in.
@@Technique787 I am glad you think so and I will continue making content like this as I very much strive to contribute to the spread of human knowledge.
Some of what you write is not entirely clear (especially the part about persians, Germanic Caliphate or Ottomans?) but I think I am getting the gist of it, and yes I agree that the Islamicate world ( more specifically the Middle East) does find itself in a difficult situation yet I think we will see improvements eventually there (economically, educationally and culturally and in terms of security & stability) as I am seeing some positive developments.
Europe in much developed their culture as a reflection of the consolidation of states and also their cultural changes were reflected too in the consolidation. So it was a mutual process but also a very long process that sometimes like during the 30 years war was far more brutal than anything we have seen in the Middle East recently.
We also have to remember that a lot of the states found in the Middle East are pretty young as they were more or less created in the aftermath of European colonization and the fall of the Ottomans. Institutions that will help in developments in society and take time to become legitimate and to be established and culture also takes time to adapt and to want these institutions too. I also think a lot of the disorder & problems we are seeing is a result of attempts or reaction to attempts to actually change things in a positive direction.
You can do bad things that our religion prohibits if it promotes our religion - said all religions everwhere
Yes, it is a reoccurring theme in all surviving religions when religious dogmatism meets the practical reality of practical issues where pragmatism has to take over.
@@theculturedjinni yup
@@GlenLake But to be fair it goes beyond just religion itself just use the cold war has an example .
@@redtwinlightsaber9915 Secular Political dogmatism & beliefs can be similar to that too, this is true.
@@redtwinlightsaber9915 That's fair. Human nature revealing itself through it's creations?
