Noam Chomsky enjoys great fame in the Arab world, as a writer who works to expose the foreign policies of the United States of America and its allies, and as a linguist who founded the theory of generative grammar. However, Chomsky is also a first-class philosopher; He wrote on political philosophy, epistemology, the philosophy of mathematics, logic, the mind-body problem, and other traditional philosophical topics. We would like to present to the Arab reader a part of Chomsky’s philosophical work, due to its philosophical importance, on the one hand, and its direct connection to our current and pressing questions about the issues of freedom and liberation, cultural specificities, the role of intellectuals in the struggle for liberation, and other topics, on the other hand.
The articles translated here include topics in epistemology, the foundations of science, rationality, the role of intellectuals, and the relationship between philosophical work and political activity, and are united by one main topic: freedom.
Much has been written about the heroism and exploits of war, and about the extent to which it is needed as a means of achieving goals that may be considered noble. But the constant question remains: Is there a justification for peace, our happiness, and even eternal harmony, if one small tear of an innocent child is shed for it?
In World War II, more than one hundred million people were killed, wounded, and displaced in the bloodiest war - so far - in our human history. Much has been written about the tragedies and consequences of this dark phase of our history. But how did the last living witnesses see her? Children of this war?
More than thirty years after the end of that war, Svetlana, in her book The Last Witnesses, brings the remaining heroes of that stage back to their childhood that lived through the war, to tell in their words the last words... about a time that would end with them...

In The Pale Foxes, the writer matches nihilistic poetry with revolutionary politics. A breathtaking novel.

On a deep wound that requires ages to heal, the novelist, Kim Ecklin, presses to open a biography of genocide, and travels from the farthest west to the farthest east, to tell part of the tragedy of an Asian country, recording part of the testimonies of the living survivors, and those who wrote small signs, bearing two words. “We will not forget,” and they hung it on tree trunks, and it was also motivated by the story of a woman she met in the market of the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh, who lost all of her family members at that time, and when the Canadian author asked her: “Can I help?” What can I do? Her answer was: “Nothing, I just wanted you to know.”

It is rare today that we do not find in explanations and comments on the book of the Old Testament multiple references to archaeological sites, such as Qumran near the Dead Sea and Ugarit on the Syrian coast near the city of Latakia. The Qumran site has become a well-known name to some extent, while the site of Ugarit, which is no less important, did not enjoy the fame that Qumran enjoyed, even though its discovery contributed greatly to re-translating and interpreting many of the words and passages of the Old Testament. This is what prompted me to write this small book that examines the civilization of the ancient city of Ugarit and its legacy. Ugarit was one of many cities that filled the world of the Bible, but its importance lies in the wealth of literary texts that added a lot to our information about the world of the Bible, to a degree that exceeded what any other archaeological site in the eastern Mediterranean provided, and helped fill the gaps between the world. The ancient and modern world.
