Articles on arts and heritage:
This book contains a number of arts and heritage articles published in Al-Bayan newspaper, and in a number of artistic and heritage magazines. We present them to readers, reviewed and revised, in one work, divided into four sections: The first: On heritage, news, narrations, and methodology, and includes seven titles of a connected format, interconnected in content, and the second: In heritage, news, narrations, and methodology. Heritage: A lived reality and current life. It includes eight titles in the same format, and the third: Recording and recording heritage, and under it fall three topics that are interconnected in meaning and content. The fourth: Art, its manifestations and publications, which includes six titles. There is no doubt that this edition gives the reader an opportunity to learn about the contents of the Emirati heritage, explore its authenticity, and learn about its components. It also enables him to observe the landmarks of the arts and the most important publications in their field
After trying my previous book, “In Defense of Insanity,” it occurred to me to do it again. The issue, in brief, is that I select from things that I have previously published in periodicals or introductions to books, what I consider to be valid beyond their time.
This book is not a continuation of the previous book, but rather a continuation of it.
It contains Lee's opinions on art, culture, journalism, women (and some politics). The question that confronted me in my first book confronts me now: What do these articles have in common?
The answer is as naive as I answered earlier: What unites these articles is that I wrote them.
The opinions here are my own, which may mean nothing to some of them, and may not mean anything to others. But it was important to me, myself, to say these opinions, and to record them, and among them was a farewell to figures like Assi Rahbani and Al-Dhahirah Rahbani, and even a farewell to a number of friends who had passed away, and who had passed through my life only briefly. Perhaps some bitterness still exists here as well. Upon reviewing the articles, I discovered that I was insisting once again on the losses that had befallen our lives. These are losses greater than military or political defeats. It is our constant humanitarian bleeding. And the one who gives us life...or makes us mad.
The book talks about Dubai... the city of dreams, the city of beauty and its founder, Sheikh: Mohammed bin Rashid Ali Maktoum, and we quote from it...
Tamer of life's riders, spoiler of horse cravings
With the wisdom of the desert, I enriched the lush horses and took care to name them until they appeared in time as a legend that walked on the lashes of sand with ease, and went slowly to ascend to glory with every effort. Under its spikes, the earth moved, and I was rewarded for its command, patience, secret, and effort. And you were the knight who was the appropriate guardian of the dreams of the wise and the pens of the nobles, and you, sir, were like your impeccable poem, taming the great horses and passing on longings for ages.
We change, our ages increase, our features undergo age changes, and even our ideas change with time and differ, or may even change completely and be undermined by ideas that contradict them.
In this book, I put some of my opinions and thoughts at a certain time, and I do not know what might come out of them in the future.
I made it under the name (Ala Wadh al-Naqa) from the clarity of purity, which is a popular Bedouin word that means that the matter be honest and pure, with no shade on it, just like what I am trying to present without falsification or embellishment, at least from my point of view.
Its intellectual value. Russell was committed throughout his life to working to change the world in which he lived, and to addressing the public in a clear, rational manner. This is one of the intellectual virtues of philosophy: explaining, clarifying, simplifying, and opening the way for everyone to participate in the process of changing the world. The articles revolve around three axes: First, freedom: Throughout his life, Russell defended freedom of expression in the face of extreme religious and nationalist beliefs. His battle was to defend freedom of expression regardless of the oppressive force. This basic principle was one of the focuses of his thinking about politics and ethics. Secondly, religion: Russell criticized the Bolsheviks’ suppression of believers, and he also criticized the religious people’s suppression of atheists. His position on religion stems from a principled commitment to freedom of expression and faith. Third, rationalism and philosophy: Russell defended rationalism throughout his life, and refused to believe in any issue or opinion that was not supported by evidence in a clear, rational manner. On the other hand, mainly following Hume, Russell holds that reason has limits, and that the rationalist position also requires that we accept that our understanding of the world is limited by the limits of reason
Missed : Words... of poems that tell about an imaginary reality... or perhaps they simulate realistic imagination My assumption is that someone... on this vast planet... has lived it In this life...or in other lives But they forgot to write it down... but it came to my mind... so I wrote it down Until I put my first fingerprints on characters that have existed since time immemorial Their repeated presence in this life is not a coincidence Rather, so that we can separate good from evil...or see faces completely stripped of their masks Even if we forcefully convince ourselves that it can bring us good However, evil is inherent in her from birth.
