Horizons of Modern Discourse

By Ali R Rahimi

Book Overview

A sweeping, bold, and deeply personal exploration of the political, social, and ideological upheavals shaping the modern era.

In Horizons of Modern Discourse: Volume II, Dr. Ali Rahimi expands his illuminating series with a sharp focus on the deterioration of democratic ideals, the dangers of unchecked global capitalism, and the rise of "Isthmus Rulers"-small factions holding oppressive power through fear and manipulation. Drawing from events across the Middle East, the United States, and Europe, Rahimi dissects the failings of both Western foreign policy and the religious-political ideologies reshaping nations from within.

This volume includes:

A critical look at U.S. interventions and the unintended consequences of shortsighted foreign policy.Deep dives into the Iranian Revolution, political Islam, and the Middle East's complex power dynamics.Insights into historical political figures and philosophical thought from Plato to Churchill to Netanyahu.Reflections on human rights, globalization, misinformation, and the fragile state of modern democracy.

Rahimi's voice is scholarly yet passionate, urgent yet reflective-a call to those who still believe in integrity, justice, and the transformative power of informed discourse.

Perfect for readers of:

Yuval Noah Harari, Fareed Zakaria, Thomas Friedman, and those interested in political philosophy, international affairs, and modern history.
