Book Description: What does it mean to be human? Humanism has mostly considered this question from a Western perspective. Through a detailed examination of a vast literary tradition, Hamid Dabashi asks that question anew, from a non-European point of view. The answers are fresh, provocative, and deeply transformative. This groundbreaking study of Persian humanism presents the unfolding of a tradition as the creative and subversive subconscious of Islamic civilization >>>

by masoudA on Tue Nov 06, 2012 07:30 AM PSTI know what it takes to be sub-human. Just like you mr. Dabashi a sub-human is one who is a communist yet works with the mullahs and against the best interests of his home country establishes a theocracy... then after the mullahs reject him, he adopts a new home country and moves to the capitalist haven, becomes a servant to George Soros, and starts working against the best interests of his new home!!! Meanwhile he enjoys being considered a university professor - teaching BS and poisoning minds...
